John,

One year ago today, a US Supreme Court – bought by radical right-wing forces – overturned Roe v. Wade, reversing 50 years of precedent and threatening the lives of women all over the country and jeopardizing numerous fundamental rights.

Effectively, the Dobbs decision made women second-class citizens in the United States. Decades of precedent on the crucial right to privacy was reversed, setting in motion the possibility of government interference in a range of personal and private decisions.

Most importantly, people are dying as a result of this decision.

Right here in Idaho, healthcare professionals are so afraid of being criminalized for doing their jobs that hospitals are CLOSING their obstetrics wings. In most cases, these are hospitals serving rural communities that already lack sufficient access to medical care.

Not only are women who need an abortion left without options – women seeking any kind of lifesaving maternal healthcare can’t get what they need.

In one year, too many women have died or faced life-threatening emergencies. Many more of these tragic stories lie ahead if we don’t restore the right to bodily autonomy for all people.

The Dobbs opinion was a terrifying read for anyone who cares about the right to privacy and autonomy. But for marginalized groups in the United States, it is downright terrifying (Justice Clarence Thomas all but promised to go after same-sex marriage).

I’m running for Congress with a full commitment to securing reproductive rights for all people.

I’ll need you with me. We have a long fight ahead to protect the right to choose and other freedoms threatened by Dobbs. Can I count on you today as we build a formidable campaign to flip this seat BLUE?

These are the consequences of policies rammed through by lawmakers who claim to be pro-life. In reality, their harsh bans on and criminalization of abortion pose severe threats to the health and safety of people seeking lifesaving healthcare – and they do NOT reflect the will of the people.

It’s been a terrifying and deadly year since Roe was overturned.

But thanks to you, I’m still hopeful. I’m not giving up, and I’m grateful to have you with me.

Onward,

David Roth
