John,

Right-wing extremists declared war on reproductive rights decades ago. They thought they had won the war after the Dobbs ruling by the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year and put the issue back in the hands of voters to decide at the state level.

They were wrong.

The fight for reproductive rights is the defining issue of our time. This is not just a health and privacy issue; it's an issue of social justice, economic equality, and the right for someone to control their own body.

With abortion now banned or significantly restricted in 22 states, millions of women find themselves in a world reminiscent of a darker age, one where their fundamental rights are compromised, and their voices are silenced.

Their short term victories are fading, and red states and blue states are voting to restore or reaffirm reproductive rights and access to legal abortion across the country. From Kansas, Kentucky, and Montana to California, Vermont, and Michigan, voters are making sure people have the right to choose.

Abortion rights isn't just a critically important policy, it's a winning political issue too. Tell Democrats to keep fighting for it by signing the petition now.

Contrary to the noise created by a vocal minority, elections have consistently shown that a majority of Americans believe abortion should be legal. Democrats must understand that championing abortion rights is not just morally right, but it is also in line with public opinion.

The truth is, that defending abortion rights is not only the right thing to do morally and ethically, but it's also a powerful political strategy. Even in swing states and traditionally conservative strongholds, support for reproductive rights remains remarkably resilient.

With upcoming opportunities for Ohioans to protect abortion rights via a constitutional amendment and potential shifts in Florida, Nebraska and even South Dakota next year, voters nationwide will continue to be motivated to show up and vote to protect their rights.

For too long, abortion has been portrayed as a divisive issue, with elected Democrats often choosing to tip-toe around it in fear of backlash. But the truth is, it's a winning issue. It encapsulates the party's deepest values and resonates with Americans nationwide.

So, join us in telling Democrats that abortion access and rights are a winning issue that they must continue to fight for everywhere.

Thank you for fighting with every ounce of your being to protect, restore, and ensure reproductive rights for all.
