John,
The block is hot in Texas. On Tuesday, the Texas Supreme Court heard a case that argues that the state's abortion laws are harming women when they face pregnancy complications. The case has grown to include 22 plaintiffs, including 20 patients and two physicians1.
And just yesterday, Judge Maya Guerra Gamble of Travis County, Texas, ruled from the bench, granting permission for a Texas woman to have a medically necessary abortion.
It is clear that Texas's extreme abortion bans hurt women. They make it harder for medical professionals to provide services, and they put people’s lives at risk. The state of Texas does not care. Their response to the potentially lethal danger that their extreme bans put women in was simply to shrug and say:
“There’s gonna be some hard calls.”
We don’t have to let them get away with this!
Texas is the proving ground for many of the anti-abortion movement's most extreme strategies. We can stop these experiments in their tracks, and develop a playbook for how to win on reproductive freedom for women and families.
Winning will take all of us pushing in every way we can. Can we count on you in this fight?
In Service,
Rachel
