After I joined the Army, John, I didn't have a lot of choices.

What I wore to work every day? No choice. Where I would live? No choice. Who my boss was? No choice. But one choice I always had? My reproductive healthcare.

That's a choice Brian Fitzpatrick voted to take away from women in the military last summer.

See, after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, the Pentagon set a policy to pay for travel to access reproductive healthcare if a service member lives in a state that bans abortion. Fitzpatrick joined with the majority of Republicans last summer to try and overturn that policy. (Luckily, they failed.)

Service members choose to risk our lives for this country. What we don't choose is whether we live in a state that bans abortion or protects it.

And what angers me even more? It's only going to get worse.

Because not only are Fitzpatrick and his fellow Republicans going to continue to go after service members' abortion freedom – Speaker Mike Johnson has made it clear he wants a national abortion ban.

I'm the only pro-choice candidate in this race. Unlike Fitzpatrick, you can count on me to protect reproductive freedom in Congress because that's what I did on the battlefield. But to get there, I need your help. Will you pitch in $10 or more to my campaign?

Thanks for being in this fight with me as my co-pilot,
