John,
Earlier this month, a Trump-appointed, anti-abortion judge in Texas issued a nationwide ban on Mifepristone, a pill used in medication abortions. But on Friday, the Supreme Court preserved access to this essential medication for now while the legal case on Mifepristone's future continues.
We're angry because abortion care—a life-saving and necessary form of health care—continues to be under a coordinated attack by far-right extremists.
We're angry because Mifepristone has been deemed safe and effective for over 20 years, yet the judge used blatant lies about Mifepristone to justify his decision.
As the case continues to make its way through the courts, it will likely once again end up in the illegitimate Supreme Court.
We refuse to tolerate a handful of far-right extremists controlling what decisions we can make with our bodies.
I don't care what one unelected, far-right, anti-abortion judge says. Its racist, sexist, classist, and ableist ruling won't stop us from accessing the care we need.
That's why earlier this year, Cori and Senator Tina Smith introduced legislation that would codify protections for access to abortion medication so that we can ensure everyone in this country can have access to abortion care—no matter where they live.
We're not backing down in this fight, but Cori can't do the work alone, John. Will you chip in $5 to help power our movement's work advocating for abortion care? It's going to take all of us working together to push back against anti-abortion extremists and defend our rights.
Although access to Mifepristone has not yet changed, we don't want to downplay what's happening. We're witnessing the most dangerous attacks on reproductive freedom in our lifetime.
This is what Republicans have been working toward for decades. We knew they would never stop attacking our bodily autonomy, even after their illegitimate Court repealed Roe v. Wade last summer.
We won't let the GOP tell us to hide or be ashamed for demanding our right to reproductive freedom.
That's why Cori spoke publicly for the first time — in a Congressional hearing — about getting an abortion after she was sexually assaulted at the age of 17. And although it doesn't get easier to talk about, it's an important story to share so that we can understand the urgency of this moment as the GOP heightens their attacks against access to abortion care.
We're going to continue sharing all of our stories and putting our bodies on the line until reproductive justice is a reality in every corner of our country. If you want to support this work, chip in $5 or whatever you can so Cori can continue advocating and legislating for abortion care?
At this moment, we must show up. We must stand up. And we must care for and support our community. Make no mistake about it, this impacts each and every single one of us.
It's not over. The landscape keeps changing, but the fight is not over.
In solidarity,
Lynese, Senior Advisor
Team Cori
