Friend,

Since the fall of Roe v. Wade, physicians have been unable to provide
medically necessary care to pregnant people. And women -- especially Black
women, survivors of abuse, and those living in poverty -- are increasingly
being surveilled and persecuted.(1)

It's never been more clear that reproductive care is essential health
care, but more states put anti-abortion bills on the docket every
legislative session. Even in Ohio, where voters passed an abortion
protection amendment by a wide majority, legislators are making an end run
around the state's constitution to ban abortion anyway.(2)

These barriers put the lives and mental health of millions at risk, and we
need national protections. There's a bill in Congress right now that would
ensure access to abortion care. Let's rally behind it to protect the
health of all pregnant people!

Access to health care should never be up for debate. But with
anti-abortion extremists controlling the Supreme Court and many state
legislatures, we need congressional action to defend these fundamental
rights.

The Women's Health Protection Act (H.R.12/S.701) would:

* Require abortion always be available to protect a pregnant person's
health
* Stop extreme abortion bans early in pregnancy
* Prevent states from forcing doctors to provide medically inaccurate
information, perform unnecessary ultrasounds, or requiring waiting
periods
* Protect patients' right to travel out of state to seek abortion care

Majority support for the WHPA is in reach in both houses of Congress -- we
just need a few more legislators to get on board. Tell your senators and
representatives to protect the health of all pregnant people and back this
vital bill today.

Yours in the fight for our health,
