Despite voter backlash, right-wing crusaders have only amped up their attacks on how we make choices for our own health care, family planning, and bodies. Sign the petition to STOP a national abortion ban and enshrine the right to bodily autonomy into law before it's too late.
Dear John,
Make no mistake about it: The Republican Party is ramping up their attacks on abortion rights and bodily autonomy—and they have their eye on a national abortion ban. Donald Trump, despite his recent flip-flopping, has said in the past that 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, right-wing crusaders have only amped up their attacks on how we make choices for our own health care, family planning, and bodies. Recently, the Supreme Court heard high-stakes oral arguments regarding access to mifepristone—the abortion pill—and they are expected to release their decision in the coming months.3
Meanwhile, networks of anti-abortion zealots continue to push lawsuits that would further curtail our rights and access to health care. And just last month, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos were "children," throwing the future of in vitro fertilization into uncertainty—a position supported by leading Republicans in Congress.4
Not just the future of abortion is on the line—bodily autonomy, from birth control pills to gender-affirming care, is at stake. It is clear that overturning Roe v. Wade was not the end of the journey but a step that emboldened Republicans in Congress 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.
Sign the Petition
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 that 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. 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 Republican Party to undo what progress we've gained or sabotage the future we deserve.
