Our reproductive rights are under attack. Last week, a Trump-appointed, anti-abortion federal judge in Texas issued a ruling that puts the availability of Mifepristone in jeopardy.
Mifepristone is a safe, effective medication for abortion care. It is taken as the first step in a two-step prescription to end a pregnancy, and has been approved by the FDA since 2000.
Right now, the medication is still legal, but continued access is in jeopardy because this case will likely end up before the far-right Supreme Court, which has already made clear its hostility to abortion care.
We see this ruling for what it is — a coordinated effort by anti-abortion activists and elected officials to dismantle sexual and reproductive health care nationwide. And they won't stop until they have a nationwide ban on abortion.
We have two asks for you today to move forward and fight back against this draconian decision:

If you’re in Massachusetts, thanks to Governor Maura Healey’s leadership, the state has stockpiled 15,000 doses of Mifepristone — a year's supply of the medication.
Together, we will keep up the fight for our fundamental rights and ensure that safe, legal abortion is available to every person – in the MA-07, across Massachusetts, and around the country.
Thank you for taking action today,
