Ellen Pompeo and fellow 'Grey's Anatomy' stars urge people to 'keep a woman powerful' in a PSA about reproductive health amid Roe v. Wade uncertainty

• The "Grey's Anatomy" cast made a PSA on reproductive health, published by Shondaland.
• It urges people to seek birth control if they want it, take pregnancy tests, and practice safe sex.

Ellen Pompeo and other "Grey's Anatomy" stars like Kelly McCreary, Caterina Scorsone, and Kevin McKidd remind the public about reproductive health in a new self-made PSA, published Thursday by Shondaland, that directs people to the online birth control support network Bedsider.org for more information.

"Remember, you can get pregnant the first time you have sex. You can get pregnant if you don't consent," Pompeo says in the video during which the actors remind people to get on birth control as soon as possible if they want to and to "get comfortable" taking pregnancy tests.

The video comes weeks after a leaked draft opinion that was published by Politico on May 3 seemingly showed that the Supreme Court of the United States is set to overturn Roe V. Wade, the 1973 ruling that granted a pregnant person's 14th Amendment right to an abortion.

"The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision," the leaked majority opinion, said to have been authored by Justice Samuel Alito in February, reads. "It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives."

If the landmark decision is overturned, abortion would most likely become illegal in at least 21 states, making it difficult for pregnant people to find access to safe abortions. Twenty states, including New York, New Jersey, Hawaii, Connecticut, Vermont, Washington, and Washington DC are "sanctuary states," meaning that they have laws in place to protect abortion rights at the state level. Nine states' abortion laws remain uncertain.

The new PSA video, which also features "Grey's Anatomy" actors Kim Raver, Chandra Wilson, and Kate Burton, offers people advice on how to proceed if they find out they are pregnant and do not wish to be.

The cast says that with new laws pending, "If you find out you are pregnant and you don't want to be, you have very little time. Do not shut down. This will be hard but you can't delay. Speak to someone you trust."

"There are ways to seek care privately, even if you need to leave your state to do it," says Burton.

Pompeo urges people to share information on pregnancy prevention and safe abortions with others because "options keep a woman powerful."

"You are powerful," says the actor, who has played surgeon Dr. Meredith Grey for 18 seasons on "Grey's Anatomy," to end the video.
