| Friend, Since the fall of Roe v. Wade, physicians have been unable to provide medically necessary care to pregnant people.

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!
