JOHN,
If you think the basic right to have autonomy over your reproductive health care decisions is increasingly at risk due to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, wait—there is more. And it gets even worse, if that is possible.
When Roe was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2022, abortions were completely banned in Missouri with vague exceptions to “save the life of the mother.” But this denial of personal choice is only the beginning.
Now Republicans are brazenly preparing to limit or eliminate access to contraception and in-vitro fertilization (IVF). These threats have nothing to do with the real needs of Missourians, but simply fall in line with a national MAGA agenda to take away personal freedom and maximize government control over personal choices. We saw the fallout from a judicial decision in Alabama that forbids access to IVF. There is nothing to stop this from happening here.
Our own U.S. Senators have already begun undermining such freedoms. Senators Josh Hawley and Eric Schmitt, both Republicans who claim to be pro-family and in favor of limited government, voted against a bill that would ensure a right to contraceptives for anyone who wants or needs it.

I believe that we must safeguard reproductive rights and protect our fundamental right to privacy. Every individual should have control over their own lives and bodies, and the right to plan if, when, or how to start a family.
Reckless extremists with radical and unpopular views about contraception and IVF have no place making laws that cause chaos, uncertainty, and emotional turmoil for women and families.
The lack of action by the Missouri legislature and the failure by our GOP Senators to enshrine protections for contraception access is alarming. As your State Senator, I will fight to protect IVF and guarantee access to fertility treatment.
Winning this seat is crucial to putting an end to the chaos and extremism that endangers basic reproductive rights and puts lives at risk. We can do more than just stop bad legislation if we flip this seat: we can take proactive steps to protect access to IVF and contraception.
Can I count on you to support this campaign and help me stand up for our rights in Jefferson City? [[link removed]]

Thank you for never giving up the fight for our basic freedoms and rights. There is so much at stake, and I know that we will win together.
Sincerely,
Joe
