What the fuck is even happening this week, John?
This week has been wild, and not in a good way.
Can you make a contribution to fuel the fight for reproductive rights today? The amount isn't as important as the donations we receive because they will all add up!
Texas Trash Fire
Texas takes the top spot for abortion-related fuckery. This week in Texas, corrupt AG Ken Paxton forced Kate Cox, a Dallas-based woman, to flee the state to receive life-saving abortion care. Over 50 companies filed an amicus brief in support of 22 women suing the state over the abortion ban.
Texas’s abortion ban is not only costing lives, it is costing nearly $15 billion in lost revenue per year. Finally, the Amarillo City Council met to consider the unconstitutional travel ban ordinance, despite heavy opposition from Amarillo residents. Texas continues to demonstrate that there are no depths to which it won’t sink to advance its disastrous abortion ban.
Three Texas Supreme Court justices and many other elected officials are up for reelection in 2024. Help us get ready to vote these extremists OUT!
Ohio: Criminalizing Miscarriages
In October, an Ohio woman was charged with a felony after having a miscarriage. This case, like others across the country, highlights the larger trend of increases in misusing the law to criminalize pregnant people. Since Roe v. Wade became law in 1973, about 2000 people have faced unwarranted criminal charges related to their pregnancies, covering cases of miscarriages or stillbirths in nearly all U.S. states.
After achieving a significant victory in protecting abortion rights in the state constitution, Ohio abortion providers are now taking on the state's six-week ban. Your support is crucial—can you donate $15 to help us continue making progress in Ohio?
SCOTUS: Back on its Bullshit
The Supreme Court will decide whether to ban Mifepristone in the first abortion-related case for the high court since the compromised court gutted Roe v. Wade last year. The argument for the case is scheduled for spring, and a decision is anticipated by late June, amid the 2024 presidential and congressional campaigns.
The fight for abortion will drive voter turnout in 2024, just as it has in 2023 and 2022. Can you rush a donation today to help us prepare for the most important election of our lifetimes?
That was a lot, and that was just this week! We are hard at work getting ready to kick off 2024 with a bang – keep your eyes open for more news on that front soon! 👟👟
