John,
In striking down Roe v. Wade last June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Americans do not have the constitutional right to an abortion. As a result, Republicans are attacking and dismantling reproductive health care state by state.
But it's not all bad news: thanks to the success of Democrats in 2022 and 2023, we were able to protect abortion access for tens of millions of Americans. Now, we're gearing up to do it again in 2024.
Are you ready to keep fighting back? Donate now to help elect the next wave of Democratic pro-choice women who will work to protect and restore abortion rights nationwide:

Here's a breakdown of where abortion laws currently stand across the country:
1. Abortion is banned or mostly banned in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia.
2. In Arizona, Nebraska, North Carolina, and Florida, abortion is banned after 12 or 15 weeks. (But Florida's governor, Ron DeSantis, signed a six-week abortion ban into law, which is set to take effect soon).
3. In Utah, Wyoming, Ohio, and Iowa, laws banning abortion have been temporarily blocked by courts.
4. In the 27 remaining states, abortion is legal and likely to remain protected -- if we're able to protect the Senate and take back the House next November. Republicans in Congress have made it clear they intend to pass a national abortion ban if they regain power.
The past year has proven that the only way to prevent and reverse abortion bans is to keep anti-choice Republicans out of power at all levels of government. We now know that when choice is on the ballot, choice wins -- so we need pro-choice champions on ballots nationwide.
