Friend, protecting abortion rights couldn't be more important. Chuck made the stakes clear with some shocking statistics. You can read his message below, but bottom line: Lives are on the line.
We need every last pro-choice supporter to sign on to help us codify abortion rights into federal law. It's how we can stop MAGA Republicans in their tracks, but we can't do it without you. Sign on now.
Onward,
Team Schumer

Subject: One word to describe abortion bans
Friend, abortion rights are under assault across the country. There's no doubt about it.
It's going to take a federal law to restore and enshrine the right to abortion in all 50 states -- that's why I just introduced the Women's Health Protection Act.
Senate Democrats are more fired up than ever to get this done, but we need your help.
As we continue our push to protect and restore abortion rights, I need to know if you're with me. Sign your name now to codify abortion rights into federal law.
Abortion bans harm everyone. But the greatest injustice is that those who suffer most are often low-income Americans, rural Americans, people of color, LGBTQ+ Americans—particularly the trans community—and especially Black Americans.
In fact, research shows that states with the harshest abortion bans have some of the highest rates of Black maternal death -- as much as 38% higher in states with abortion restrictions.
There's only one word to describe this: Shameful. And now that the MAGA Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Republicans' cruel campaign against our fundamental freedoms is only getting worse.
The Women's Health Protection Act is our chance to restore abortion rights nationwide once and for all. Sign your name to save abortion rights right away.
Onward,
Chuck Schumer
