Dear MoveOn member,

Make no mistake about it: The GOP is ramping up their attacks on abortion rights and bodily autonomy—and they have their eye on a national abortion ban. Donald Trump has said he'd support one as president.¹ Republican candidates are also backing one—and you can be sure that if they win the Senate, they'll do away with the filibuster and send a national abortion ban straight to Trump's desk.²

Despite voter backlash, rightwing crusaders have only amped up their attacks on how we make choices for our own health care, family planning, and our bodies. Just yesterday, the Supreme Court heard high-stakes oral arguments regarding access to mifepristone—the abortion pill—and are expected to release their decision in the coming months.³ Meanwhile, networks of anti-abortion zealots continue to push lawsuits further curtailing our rights and access to health care. And just last month, an Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos were "children," throwing the future of in vitro fertilization into uncertainty—a position held by leading Republicans in Congress.⁴

The future of abortion is not just on the line—bodily autonomy, from birth control pills to gender-affirming care, is at stake. It is clear that overturning Roe was not the end of the journey but was a step that emboldened Republicans to push even further.

We can't continue to watch as abortion access is stripped away and pushed further out of reach. Sign the petition to demand that Congress do everything in their power to STOP a national abortion ban and enshrine the right to bodily autonomy into law before it's too late.

From Roe to mifepristone, abortion rights are under attack. Tell every member of and candidate for Congress: Say no to a national abortion ban and commit to restoring and expanding our rights to essential health care.

An overwhelming number of voters—80%—oppose a national abortion ban, including a majority of Republicans and Independents.⁵ The majority of Americans want to see safe, legal, accessible abortion care—and they are voting that way in every state where abortion is on the ballot. Yet Republican candidates are making a dangerous deal—promising extreme, dangerous, authoritarian policies to criminalize abortion in return for the loyalty of the most extreme voters in the Republican base.

We need to be loud, clear, and united in our opposition to a national abortion ban. Join more than 57,200 MoveOn members and sign the petition to make it clear that the majority of Americans DO NOT support a national abortion ban.

We all deserve to have agency over our bodies and to decide if and when to have children. And our communities are stronger and more vibrant when we are all able to define, build, and nurture our families on our own terms. We refuse to sit by and idly allow the GOP to undo what progress we've gained or sabotage the future we deserve.

Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? The MAGA movement's book bans have forced teachers and librarians across the country to remove books from their shelves and censor what young people can learn. MoveOn is fighting back, including by filling a "Banned Bookmobile" with books that the far right has banned and driving it to key cities and towns to raise the visibility of book bans, hand out banned books for free, and bring people together to stop censorship. To keep up the fight against book bans and the MAGA politicians who support them, we need your help.

Will you start a monthly gift to power and sustain MoveOn's critical work?

Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month.

No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
