BREAKING NEWS:
The National Domestic Violence Hotline released new data showing that in the past year since Roe v. Wade was overturned, there has been a 100% increase in calls about reproductive coercion, a type of intimate partner violence in which an abuser exerts power and control over their partner's body and reproductive agency.
Women are losing power and autonomy in this country at alarming rates. We need to fight back to gain and reinstate our power by electing more women to political office who understand their responsibility to keep the women of our country safe. Please help us support pro-choice, progressive women running up and down the ballot this year by rushing $HPC/20.23 immediately →
Without the federal protections of Roe v. Wade, women are facing increased rates of abuse – in fact, according to PBS, the hotline is receiving the highest volume of calls they have seen since its founding in 1996 – upwards of 3,000 calls a day.

Jezebel reported, “[Crystal Justice, chief external affairs officer for the National Domestic Violence Hotline] heard from callers, post-Roe, whose abusive partners have weaponized their states’ abortion laws, as well as the widespread confusion around the laws’ particularities, to confuse and control them. ‘We’ve seen abusive partners weaponize the possible criminality of accessing abortion, or wrongfully tell a victim that if they do access abortion, they themselves could go to jail, or they’ll report them to the police,’ Justice said.
According to the Jezebel article, “15% of women experiencing physical violence from a male partner have also reported birth control sabotage. The risk is greater for young people—a quarter of adolescent girls with an abusive male partner have reported their partner attempted to impregnate them by interfering with their contraception.”
We are sick and tired of men making decisions about our bodies – especially the men in our government. We must act fast to counter these widespread harmful rulings by electing progressive, pro-choice, pro-WOMEN candidates who will fight for our rights nationwide. Help us accomplish this goal by rushing $20.23 right now →
