John,
One year ago today the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, stripping away abortion rights for people across the country in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health decision.
Some of you may know about my personal experience with our reproductive health care system. I am fortunate to live in a state where pregnant people’s right to make choices about their own bodies is protected. The support network around me helped me to exercise my own choice, rather than imposing someone else’s views on me.
But for so many people across the country, because of this Supreme Court decision and a frightening far-right movement based on hatred and vitriol, this constitutional right has been revoked. To this day, right-wing Republicans are determined to pass more extreme abortion bans, all while simultaneously working to undermine voting rights to further silence the people.
Abortion is currently banned in 14 states and Republicans are fighting to further ban access to safe and effective methods of abortion like the FDA-approved medicine, mifepristone. Not only do these policies rip away a person's ability to make potentially life-saving decisions for themselves, it pushes people towards unsafe alternative options. No person should ever be put in that position.
Now more than ever, we need legislation that reaffirms everyone has a constitutional and fundamental right to the life-saving care they not only need, but also deserve.
This fight needs every ounce of grassroots support that we can muster. From the local level to the federal level, we need to be bold and determined in our collective fight for reproductive justice. Can we count on you to chip in $3 or whatever you’re able to give to help power our collective work.
Thank you,
Pramila Jayapal
