ACLU Supporter, the Supreme Court is considering a second case that could devastate abortion access nationwide and make pregnant people second-class citizens in the emergency room.

Anti-abortion politicians are now trying to take away people's power to get emergency care if they are facing severe complications during pregnancy. Their claim is that pregnant people are somehow excluded from long-standing protections to access necessary emergency care at hospitals – threatening doctors with prison time for providing abortion care in a medical emergency.

We don't need to tell you how disastrous this would be. Everyone has a right to the emergency treatment they need without political interference.

That's why we're urging Congress to act to end state bans and protect all forms of reproductive health care – including emergency care, IVF, and medication abortion. We need you with us to send a clear message: Congress must defend our reproductive freedom.

ACLU Supporter, federal law protects patients in emergency situations – patients experiencing medical crises should never be turned away from the emergency room. Period.

But if anti-abortion activists win, doctors could face jail time for doing their medical duty – and pregnant patients could be left to suffer.

It's yet another prong of the coordinated campaign to push abortion out of reach entirely, proving that extreme politicians and the groups supporting them do not care about the well-being of pregnant people, do not care that abortion is supported by a vast majority of Americans, and does not care who they will hurt with their extreme agenda. Denying emergency care is not an accident – it's an intentional part of their cruel vision for the world.

ACLU Supporter, it's completely unacceptable – which is why we're using every tool at our disposal to fight back.

We can't do this alone, we need you with us. Join the growing number of your fellow ACLU activists calling on Congress to protect our reproductive health care and restore our rights.

Thank you for all that you do,
