Hi there, I just wanted to make sure you saw this email from one of our frontline Democratic County Chairs in Hood County.
MAGA Republicans in Texas have made their plans crystal clear. They already overturned Roe and passed some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country, but they won’t stop there. As they clearly lay out in the leaked video, they won’t stop until they’ve banned IVF and contraception, and prosecute pregnant women and doctors who perform abortions.
Between electing Democrats at the federal level who will stop Republicans’ dreams of a national abortion ban, and flipping the Supreme Court of Texas -- which prevented Kate Cox from receiving a lifesaving abortion -- we’re fully prepared for the fight to stop these extremist MAGA Republicans, friend.
Last week, I shared a truly chilling video of a meeting in Granbury -- attended by several Republican elected officials -- in which a spokesman from Abolish Abortion Texas (AATX) called for the death penalty for women who seek abortions or use IVF, including pregnant minors. Watch the full video now >>
Many extremist Republican elected officials and candidates have already pledged to make this dark vision of the future for Texas women a reality. Rural Texas areas like Hood County are the frontlines in the fight against fundamentalist MAGA extremists like this, my friend-- where they feel free and emboldened to share their dangerous views publicly:
Paul Brown (AATX Director of Policy) said that IVF is a form of abortion and that when a fertilized egg is destroyed it should be considered murder, saying “Their lives [women] don’t matter any more than the babies’ they are killing.”
Brown also said how the group is against basic contraception pointing to the emergency contraception pill Plan B, saying that it “terminates or kills a baby prior to implantation -- which is an abortion”
Brown went on to say that they will “never be okay with abortions in the instance of incest or rape” with several audience members suggesting that pregnant women and doctors who perform abortions should be “held accountable” to the highest extent of the law.
Your contribution is crucial in combating the dangerous extremism of MAGA Republicans in Hood County and beyond. Let's make sure these regressive voices do not dictate our future.
Thank you for your support,
