John, April is recognized as Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
According to the NSVRC: - 1 in 5 women in the U.S. experience an attempted or completed rape - 1 in 3 women/girls are between the ages of 11-17 when they are first assaulted - Nationwide, 81% of women have experienced some form of harassment or assault
The reality of sexual harassment and assault is brutal, and disproportionately affects women of color. It shouldn't be this way. But, these statistics show the reality for women and the necessity of safe and legal abortion.
However, Republicans across the nation are implementing restrictive measures in anti-choice laws, such as requiring rape victims to report their assault and have it reviewed prior to being approved for an abortion procedure.
The disregard for the victims of assault proves, yet again, that the GOP is determined to score political points at the cost of women's healthcare and their lives.
John, if this is a cause that speaks to you, help us elect more pro-choice candidates in 2024 and defend the reproductive freedoms of women across the nation. |
