Folks,

I'm shocked and sickened at the Alabama Supreme Court's ruling -- declaring that frozen embryos are considered children. Led by a Chief Justice who is a Roy Moore protégé, they've basically ruled that frozen embryos in test tubes have more rights than women and families trying to have children.

Hospitals and fertility clinics have immediately stopped providing vital IVF services for families because the potential legal liabilities for IVF are now too severe to risk.

MAGA is of course cheering. Tommy Tuberville says he's "all for it" (even though he had no clue what “it” is and immediately said "we need more kids".) If you needed any more proof that they are not conservative, this is it. They are inserting themselves into our bedrooms and into decisions that should be between families and doctors. Add that to Tuberville’s pro-Putin/anti-Ukraine rants that puts our national security at risk and all that the Alabama Legislature is doing -- from book bans to even more extremism -- and you have a clear blueprint for what these extremists want to do everywhere. Make no mistake folks - this ruling opened a gate. It provided a roadmap for other extremist courts and legislatures, both state and federal, that focus on attacking our rights. The ripple effect must be combatted. We have to stop this now or it will never end.

We can stop this, in Alabama and elsewhere. We've proven before that there are a majority of Alabamians who are willing to move past extremism and come together. But between now and the November election is where the rubber meets the road. We are already working hard to win back a state house seat in an upcoming special election next month and to win back a U.S. House seat in the newly drawn 2nd congressional district that will help break MAGA's hold on Congress.

What's going on in Alabama is heartbreaking and quite frankly too extreme for many to believe. But everyone needs to understand that what is happening in Alabama will happen all around the country if we are not constantly vigilant and doing what we can to stop these extremists everywhere.

That's what I'm completely focused on with Right Side of History. It's why I'm all in to elect Democrats this fall, to make sure Tommy Tuberville is a one term Senator in 2026 and to make sure MAGA can never again assault our freedoms like this. If you're with me, let's take the fight to MAGA to make changes in Alabama and win everywhere this November >>  

Thank you for your support.
