John,

Utter treachery and terrible policy.

That's what we've gotten from an anti-choice zealot masquerading as a judge. We warned for months that Matthew J. Kacsmarkyk was a Republican in robe, a Trump-appointed nut forcing his personal set of superstitions and obsessions on all of us.

So, in a ruling that surprised nobody, with no legal, moral or health-based justification, he overturned the FDA's approval of the abortion pill, mifepristone, which has a record of overwhelming safety here and abroad. 

Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post put it well:

Thankfully, a Washington State judge issued a competing decision to halt this lunacy from taking effect right away (we hope). Yet, we need to fight this anti-democratic attack by a small man on the bodies of women across the country--yes, in blue states too.

Will you please join us in donating $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can to the National Network of Abortion Funds to fund travel, childcare, shelter and more for women who will otherwise be emotionally and physically harmed by this decision.

Thank you for fighting every day for full equality in this country.

Cliff

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
