Hi there,

As we enter a new year, we wanted to quickly remind you of some recent events surrounding abortion rights. But first, will you kick off the year with us by rushing $20.24 to help us elect pro-choice women running nationwide?

Kate Cox, a Texas woman and mother of two children, was around 20 weeks pregnant when she learned the devastating news that her baby had Trisomy 18, a rare and likely fatal diagnosis. In order to protect her health and future fertility, she needed an abortion. According to Reuters, she bravely filed a lawsuit seeking a “temporary restraining order preventing Texas from enforcing its near-total ban on abortion in her case.”

Here’s what happened next:

A district judge (a woman) granted the request, but Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appealed that judge’s decision on the grounds that she “fell short” of proving she qualified for an exception. He then went on to warn that “Texas courts were not intended to be ‘revolving doors of permission slips to obtain abortions." (We couldn’t agree more.)

In the end, Kate left the state of Texas to have an emergency abortion as her health worsened.

And this wasn’t the only horrifying abortion story from late 2023:

A Black woman in Ohio is facing a fifth-degree felony punishable by up to a year in prison and a $2,500 fine after being denied care for her miscarriage at a hospital and suffering through the miscarriage at home.

According to AP News, a doctor informed her that her “water had broken prematurely and the fetus she was carrying would not survive. He advised heading to the hospital to have her labor induced so she could have what amounted to an abortion to deliver the nonviable fetus. Otherwise, she would face ‘significant risk’ of death.”

After multiple trips to the hospital, where she was unable to obtain care due to doctors “deliberating over the legalities,” Watts miscarried into a toilet at her home and is now being charged with abuse of a corpse.

This is the nasty reality of living in a post-Roe world. Doctors are refusing to provide care in order to avoid criminal charges, to the detriment of our lives. The worst part? These dangerous laws that doctors are trying to interpret were mostly written by men.

This is about controlling women. This is about men being in positions of power making decisions they are not qualified to make. But we have an opportunity to change that this year – by electing more fiercely pro-choice women. Will you help us by rushing $20.24 today?
