John,

Republican attacks on reproductive choice are ramping up, and this week,
the issue is headed to the Supreme Court.

Yesterday, SCOTUS began hearing oral arguments in a controversial case
that could allow Louisiana to require doctors performing abortions to have
admitting privileges at local hospitals -- a law that would leave the
state with just one single abortion provider, effectively making abortion
inaccessible for Louisianans.

If enacted, this kind of state law completely undermines the legal right
to an abortion guaranteed in the Supreme Court’s 1973 landmark case Roe v.
Wade, because if abortion is simply inaccessible, then it really doesn’t
matter whether it’s legal.

This is the first time Trump’s conservative Justices Neil Gorsuch and
Brett Kavanaugh will get to decide a case on the issue while on the
nation’s highest bench, and based on Kavanaugh’s questioning yesterday, it
already sounds like he’s leaning toward letting this attack on
reproductive choice move forward.

But it’s not too late. As the Supreme Court continues to hear arguments
and consider the legality of this Republican-led attack on abortion
access, we must rise up and show the Court, the GOP, and conservative
state governments that most Americans believe abortion is health care.

our petition now to make it clear that the public believes abortion is a
right and we demand it be protected.

Together, let’s unite and show conservatives that Roe v. Wade isn’t going
anywhere,
