Indivisibles in Republican districts: The actions in this email are aimed at Democratic representatives because, right now, getting Dems on board for reproductive freedom is the most important and impactful thing we can do going into the 2024 cycle. But we wanted to ensure Indivisibles in red districts could see the full picture of our work and know that we are still working on reproductive freedom, even if there is not a direct ask on abortion rights for red districts right now.

Read on for more of our strategy, and if you want to help right away, you can donate to Indivisible Action to ensure we have the funds we need to continue this work and battle for a more just reproductive future.

Indivisibles,

Republicans have not stopped their assault on abortion rights since the fall of Roe.

Just last week, the all-male South Carolina Supreme Court upheld a 6-week abortion ban, essentially completing a ban across the entire South. At the same time, anti-choice activist Justice Matthew Kacsmaryk is once again at the center of an abortion access case as anti-abortion extremists hand-picked his court in an attempt to bankrupt Planned Parenthood by erroneously accusing it of fraud for adhering to a court order.

We knew the fall of Roe was just the beginning, but the MAGA GOP continues to strip away reproductive rights even as the vast majority of voters support access to abortion.

Democrats keep fighting back though, and we’re standing up right along with them.

Today, we are introducing our Reproductive Freedom Agenda!

Reproductive Freedom Agenda:

As MAGA Republicans have found more inventive and draconian ways to effectively ban abortion, we have rallied around the knowledge that it won’t be enough just to codify Roe federally. We have to go further in order to ensure everyone, everywhere, is truly free to make their own reproductive decisions.

All House Democrats (aside from Reps. Cuellar and Gonzalez from Texas) have already signed on to the Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA), which would codify Roe and protect the legal right to abortion care, but we are championing a trio of other bills that would extend those protections even further:

H.R. 782 -- Ensuring Women’s Right to Reproductive Freedom Act

For some MAGA Republicans, banning abortion in their own state wasn’t enough -- they want to prevent people from traveling elsewhere to receive legal abortion care. This bill affirms that everyone has the right to travel across state lines to seek care.

H.R. 3420 -- My Body, My Data Act of 2023

Republicans have no problem exploiting the lack of regulations for private reproductive health data entered into online apps, websites, and search engines to go after people they suspect of having received abortion care. This bill would create privacy standards so that our personal health data stays personal.

H.R. 4303 -- Abortion Justice Act

Codifying Roe would restore the legal right to abortion, but that isn’t enough on its own. There have always been systemic barriers in place that prevented people -- particularly Black, brown, and low-income folks -- from actually accessing the care they need. This bill would remove some of these barriers to care and address disparities and systemic racism in reproductive health care.

These bills would combine to not only enshrine the foundations of reproductive freedom, but also stop some of the more insidious means MAGA extremists have used to attempt to block all abortion access. Though we don’t have the numbers to pass these bills in this Congress, building the coalition now and showing that Dems are dedicated to this goal will build the foundation we need to win in 2024 and enshrine reproductive freedom in the next Congress. We need your help to get all Democrats on board today:

Check out our new Reproductive Freedom Agenda. This will be your one-stop shop for comprehensive information on our reproductive rights stances and immediate actions you can take to help us protect and restore abortion access nationally.
Join our Making a Majority Cohort Call on Tuesday, September 5 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. This call is for anyone in a blue district. We’ll be talking about our Reproductive Freedom Agenda and continuing to plan how we can work with our reps and our communities to move these bills forward and set ourselves up to win in 2024.
Call your representative now and ask them to champion reproductive freedom and protect abortion access. We need all Democrats in the House to cosponsor the entire Reproductive Freedom Agenda. Each bill is important on its own, but together, they combine to create comprehensive protections for abortion access and care.
If your representative has already cosponsored all three bills, write a letter to the editor thanking them for being a reproductive freedom champion. Our representatives and their constituents need to know when we’re proud of their work. Make sure to encourage your representative to keep showing up for reproductive freedom by publicly showing your support.

As has been shown in Ohio, Kansas, and across the entire country, Americans care about reproductive freedom and will get out to vote to protect those rights. It’s on us now to make sure our Democratic representatives are doing everything they can to protect abortion access. Contact your Rep. today and make sure they’re on board.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
