Hi,
First, the extreme right-wing Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
Then, MAGA Republican governors and state legislatures enforced heavy
restrictions on abortion rights — making it nearly impossible for millions
and millions of people to get abortion care. Now, one of those
restrictions comes from Idaho — where the GOP is trying to pass the first
ban on interstate travel for abortion care.^1
[ [link removed] ]Abortion care is not a crime. Urge President Biden to issue executive
actions protecting easy, safe access to abortion care in America —
including protecting interstate travel and access to abortion medication.

Idaho already has some of the most extreme abortion restrictions in
America. Nearly all abortions are banned and the state has an affirmative
defense law that essentially asserts any doctor who provides an abortion
is guilty until proven innocent.^2 Now, Idaho Republicans want to
criminalize certain residents if they travel out of state to get an
abortion. They’re even calling it "abortion trafficking."
Every restriction on abortion rights, care, and access in America is an
act of oppression. It’s an attempt to restrict freedoms and women’s
control over their own bodies, futures, and families.
A few weeks ago, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Mazie Hirono led a letter
to the White House asking President Biden to take eleven actions to
protect abortion rights in America including protecting medication
abortion, issuing guidance detailing Americans’ right to travel across
state lines for an abortion, strengthening health privacy laws to ensure
that provider and patient data cannot be shared with law enforcement, and
revoking Trump-era executive orders that restrict abortion rights.^3
[ [link removed] ]We cannot wait any longer. Sign the petition: President Biden must
protect abortion rights with a series of executive orders.
Thanks for taking action,
