John, yesterday was the first anniversary of the leaked
eventual decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
This campaign to restrict (and ultimately end) abortion has been more
than 50 years in the making.
House Republicans have already begun the next phase of the assault on
women and bodily autonomy. Their expressed legislative priorities
include codifying the Hyde Amendment (1976), as well as drawing
attention to "attacks" on anti-abortion centers. Several states have
enacted 6-week bans, and have left out exceptions for rape or incest.
All of this focus is, yet again, a distraction from the real issues.
The fear-mongering of "tax-payer funded abortions" is still in use by
the Republican party even though the Hyde Amendment prevents federal
funding from being used for abortion services.
The more pressing issue is that restrictive reproductive healthcare
policies kill women. Since the Supreme Court's ruling, we have been
inundated with evidence that these laws are not precise enough in
their language and leave doctors hesitant to provide life-saving
care. Some laws are going so far as to consider life beginning at
conception, leaving fertility clinics at a similar crossroads for
fear of being charged with murder.

left up to who it affects the most: the patients. Can you chip in
towards the cause today and help elect lawmakers who believe in the
freedom of choice?

John, we know that these issues are not just black and
white, and we know you do as well. Thank you for supporting us and
