🚨 GOP attaches right-wing goals to the Defense Bill🚨

John - Anna Scudder here with another important update, but
first: will you join this fight to defend the rights of millions across
the nation?

Senator Tom Cotton on Fox News Sunday made the decision to call women and
LGBTQ+ servicemembers seeking an abortion "abortion tourism." This comes
as the Senate is expected to receive a version of the Defense bill that is
full of right-wing goals like stripping away access to reproductive
services and healthcare for members of the LGBTQ+ community in the
military. 

The GOP is critical of the Biden administration's expansion of abortion
access for military members who are stationed in states where the
procedure is no longer available to them...which wouldn't be an issue if
the conservative majority on the Supreme Court had not overturned Roe v.
Wade. Not only is this a despicable comment, with the condescending nature
of GOP politicians painting abortion as a vacation for women, but it also
speaks to their inability to understand the reality of the experiences of
women and LGTBQ+ servicemembers.

According to RAND: "Service members who identify as [LGBTQ+] represented
only 12 percent of the active component population in 2018, but accounted
for approximately 43 percent of all sexually assaulted service members in
that year," and
"The 77 percent of women who identify as heterosexual only accounted for
60 percent of all women who were sexually assaulted over a one-year
period, while the remaining 23 percent of women who did not indicate a
heterosexual orientation accounted for 40 percent of all women who were
sexually assaulted."

will push to see that more of our rights and freedoms are taken away. Help
us fight back.
