John,

The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, but the fight over the constitutionality of women’s reproductive rights has just begun.

Until a nationwide constitutional solution is possible, we need to take this one state at a time.

The good news is, the people are with us. Abortion rights have majority support across the country, even in red states. A recent study by the Public Religion Research Institute found that a majority of citizens in 43 states say abortion should be legal in most or all cases. In 13 states, abortion rights are favored by over 70% of voters.

Sign the petition to call for the protection and expansion of abortion rights at the state level, including the passage of constitutional amendments wherever possible.

Across the country, voters have consistently supported abortion rights in their states since Roe v. Wade’s reversal in 2022. They have voted against proposed state-level anti-abortion bans in Kansas, Kentucky, and Montana, and passed constitutional amendments to preserve abortion rights in California, Vermont, and Michigan.

Now, voter initiatives protecting reproductive rights have already been placed on the ballot for 2024 in New York and Maryland, and efforts are underway in Florida and Ohio.

Between potential voter initiatives and Democratic majority state legislatures, a recent analysis by Daily Kos identified 23 states, plus the District of Columbia, where there is sufficient voter support to enshrine abortion rights in state constitutions. Collectively, these states represent 58% of the U.S. population.

We can ensure the majority of Americans enjoy constitutional protections for reproductive rights in their states, despite the machinations of the Trump-appointed U.S. Supreme Court. Wherever it is possible, we need to get it done.

Sign the petition now, to protect and expand abortion rights with constitutional amendments at the state level.

Thank you for helping to ensure these essential rights for women of this and future generations.
