John,
Last week, our team updated you on the latest Republican chaos: the election of Mike Johnson as speaker of the House. The GOP has continued to brand Johnson as a moderate, reasonable, common-sense family man. This portrayal could not be further from the truth.
When Louisiana passed a no-exceptions abortion ban that would imprison medical professionals for providing life-saving medical care to pregnant people, MAGA Mike tweeted to celebrate. Before running for Congress, Mike Johnson played a central role in the movement to restrict access to emergency contraception and birth control. And after celebrating the overturning of Roe v. Wade last summer, he voted against the Right to Contraception Act.
House Republicans have been threatening to pass a national abortion ban since gaining the majority last November, and Johnson is the perfect ringleader for their tyrannical agenda. We can stop him by flipping the House and taking back the gavel in 2024. Donate to EMILYs List now to elect women and defeat Republicans >>

Despite the reality that 77% of Americans consider abortion rights an important electoral issue and 72% support over-the-counter birth control, Speaker Johnson wants his personal anti-choice beliefs to govern reproductive health care *for the entire country*.
So, John, we're fighting back.
EMILYs List has endorsed 28 Democratic pro-choice House candidates to flip the chamber, retake the majority, and get the speaker's gavel OUT of anti-choice extremist Mike Johnson's hands. Donate now to support our work:
