John,

In February, 22 Republican attorneys general and 67 GOP members of
Congress backed a lawsuit trying to overturn the FDA’s two-decade approval
of medication abortion^1, aka “abortion pills.”

If the courts overturn the FDA’s approval, there will be immediate and
devastating consequences:

* An estimated 40 million people who can become pregnant would lose
access to medication abortion^2.

* Overturning the FDA’s approval would force pregnant people to undergo
the more costly and difficult to obtain option of surgical abortions,
which include a longer recovery time, are more expensive, and often
require visits to clinics that are hundreds of miles away — taking
patients away from their work, families and driving up the overall
costs of care.

* When lawmakers restrict abortion access, there’s always a
disproportionate impact on already vulnerable groups. A ban on
abortion pills would heavily burden people of color, people who are
disabled, working class communities, transgender folks, and people who
live in rural areas.

It’s time to fight back and show we will never accept ANY abortion ban.

Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, 24 states have either outlawed abortion
or are preparing to^3 — a federal ban on medication abortion is just the
latest step in the GOP’s long-term plan to strip hundreds of millions of
Americans from accessing abortion. We are not backing down.

In solidarity,

Pramila
