Jack, last week's ruling by a Texas judge that blocked an abortion drug safer than Tylenol was the latest attack on reproductive freedom.

Here's the issue: a majority of Americans support abortion rights, even in red states. State-level polling shows that 64% of Floridians, 66% of Ohioans and 57% of Texans believe that abortion should be legal in most or all cases. The American people are on our side here.

And when extremists tried passing anti-abortion amendments in Kansas, Kentucky and Montana last year, the voters said no. We need to fight back by protecting abortion rights at the state level by passing constitutional amendments wherever possible at the ballot box.

We did this in Michigan, California and Vermont—and Daily Kos has identified 23 states where it would be possible to amend the state constitution to include abortion rights. Advocates are gathering signatures in Ohio to put it on the November ballot, and we must support them.

Sign the petition: Abortion is a constitutional right, no matter what Trump-appointed judges or Republican politicians say. The people must pass it at the state level.

After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, abortion is now illegal in 13 states—and dozens of states, like Florida, are planning to pass strict abortion restrictions. But we can fight back and win at the state level, because even in red states abortion rights are popular.

In 2022, voters in Kansas, Kentucky and Montana all defeated anti-abortion bans to their state constitutions. California, Vermont and Michigan all passed ballot measures that enshrine abortion rights in their state constitutions, forever protecting that freedom from politicians.

Many more states can—and should—follow suit. New York and Maryland legislatures have already placed an abortion rights measure on the 2024 ballot, and Ohio activists are gathering signatures to place it on the November 2023 ballot. A Daily Kos analysis has identified 23 states where the voters can affirmatively enshrine abortion rights, including Florida.

Abortion is a constitutional human right, no matter what the Trump-appointed U.S. Supreme Court may say. And in every state where it's possible to amend the constitution, we need to take action to make it possible. The people are on our side, and it's time we get it done.

Sign the petition: We must protect and expand abortion rights at the state level, having the voters pass constitutional amendments wherever possible.
