Hi james,

We warned them this would happen. Doctors and activists across the country shouted themselves hoarse, telling every Republican who would listen that their draconian abortion bans would be devastating for pregnant people — and now we’re facing the beyond-awful consequences of their actions.

The Associated Press has just published a new report that describes in chilling detail how cases in which pregnant women were turned away from U.S. emergency rooms skyrocketed after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, in one case leading to the death of the child and one woman having to miscarry in a hospital lobby’s restroom. This has to stop ASA P.

Countless Americans across the country are being forced to endure agonizing pain and psychological trauma as their pregnancy complications are left untreated by hospital staff too worried about legal repercussions to treat them. Republican abortion bans have created an atmosphere of fear that is punishing those who need help the most.

Nobody understands that better than Dr. Lyerly, who fought back against an 1849 abortion ban in her home state of Wisconsin and succeeded in getting that ban suspended as a plaintiff in a lawsuit.

Now she’s ready to take her fight for reproductive rights in Congress, bringing years of OB/GYN experience to a legislative body dominated by men who will never experience pregnancy and are supremely unqualified to write legislation governing human bodies.

But she can’t do it alone. Will you stand with Dr. Kristin Lyerly to demand hospitals stop refusing care to pregnant patients and end this national nightmare?
