Hey — you may have missed this in the news, but it’s very concerning. The 5th Circuit, breaking from decades of legal precedent, just upheld a law in Texas that prevents teens from confidentially obtaining birth control.

This is yet another example of extremist politicians limiting access to basic reproductive care and inserting themselves into private medical decisions. We saw it last month when Alabama blocked access to IVF. And we saw it just last week in Congress when nearly the entire House Republican conference advanced a plan to implement a nationwide abortion ban.

It’s time for federal action restoring Roe v. Wade protections, and protecting access to both birth control and IVF. That’s exactly what I’m fighting for, but I can’t win this fight alone. If we’re going to succeed, it’s absolutely critical that we win this next election. Can I count on your support today?

You might be thinking that passing federal legislation protecting reproductive rights sounds like a long shot. And with House Republicans in charge, you’d be right.

But here’s the thing: We are just four seats away from flipping control of the House. And if we win my toss-up re-election race this November, the odds of success go up dramatically — and so do the odds of passing federal legislation restoring Roe v. Wade protections.

If that’s a mission you’re on board with — if you want to take away the power of extremist politicians to exert control over deeply personal medical decisions like using birth control, conceiving through IVF, or terminating a pregnancy — then please donate what you can and help us elect a pro-choice majority this November.

Thanks for your support,

Sharice Davids
Representative for Kansas’s Third District
