We’re being sued.

John,

 

I’m working to make Idaho a place that takes care of the people who live here. Unfortunately, in our post-Roe world, that’s just not the case.

 

After Roe v. Wade was overturned, Idaho implemented one of the most severe abortion bans in the nation, including a travel ban that prevents minors from seeking reproductive care in other states and incriminates those who may help them.

 

Now, the Washington Attorney General has joined several other states in suing Idaho for this harmful policy. They argue the law places their states’ healthcare providers at risk should they adhere to their oaths and provide care to those who need it. 

 

A ban on abortions doesn’t stop abortions. It simply makes them more difficult to obtain, and more dangerous. Abortion is healthcare – and when someone from Idaho can’t get what they need here, they will likely travel to find it.

 

I know the extremists running our state government here don't speak for real Idaho. 

 

And I’m glad to see these radical lawmakers being called out by our neighboring states for policy that is killing people and putting countless more at risk for unjust legal consequences.

 

We need federal protections for abortion, and we need them now. 

 

We know Mike Simpson will never vote for women to have bodily autonomy. I’m running for Congress to build a formidable Democratic majority in the House and support legislation that protects people who seek necessary healthcare and I need you with me now.

 

Contributions have slowed down since the end of July, and we need to catch up right away if we want to flip this seat. Can you contribute $5, $10, or $25 to help me get caught up? Please let me know you’re with me now.

I’m raising children in Idaho, so I have a personal stake in what happens here. We Idahoans must take care of each other, and it starts with protecting access to lifesaving medical care. 

 

I’m committed to doing just that when you send me to Congress next year.

 

Thanks for everything,

 

David Roth

         

David Roth is a single, gay dad running for Idaho’s Second Congressional District. We’re going up against a GOP incumbent who has been in this seat for almost 25 years. It’s time for change in Idaho, and our grassroots campaign is building on the momentum that began in David’s race for U.S. Senate last cycle. The GOP is not planning to defend this seat, so we plan to take it from them and help Democrats retake the House majority next year. We’d love your support to build a solid campaign to bring progress to Idaho and the country.
