[ [link removed] ]Ayanna Pressley for Congress

Mifepristone is safe, effective, and legal.
Period.

Yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling on mifepristone is a major relief, and a
victory for reproductive justice. The justices rejected a bid from
anti-abortion extremists to reverse the FDA’s approval of the medication
abortion drug — which is the most common method for abortion patients to
get this care.

This case, which should have never reached our nation’s top court, put
essential reproductive care at risk for people across the country. It
risked taking FDA-approved medication that has been used for decades off
the market, because politicians wanted to play doctors and scientists. It
was really about controlling our bodies and taking away our rights.

While a catastrophic abortion medication ban was just averted, we’re not
out of the woods, and we must remain vigilant. Republicans will continue
their coordinated and persistent attacks on reproductive freedom. They’ve
shown their cards, and they are coming for IVF, birth control, and a
nationwide abortion ban.

[ [link removed] ]We must fight back and pass sweeping abortion protections at the
federal level, including by passing my Abortion Justice Act and the
Women’s Health Protection Act. If you’re with me on this, add your name to
show your support for national abortion protections.

Abortion is a Right

Let’s be clear: this ruling means medication abortion remains safe,
routine, and still legal in many states across the nation, including
Massachusetts. But it does NOT change the fact that:

* Roe v. Wade was overturned almost two years ago, and abortion care has
been under attack for much longer.
* The right to abortion care is being stripped away, and is entirely
inaccessible in 14 states.
* Mifepristone is still open to future legal challenges, and remains
illegal in the 14 states that ban abortion.

We’re still seeing abortion bans enacted in states nationwide with no
exceptions. We’re still seeing attempts to ban IVF and contraception. And
we’re still seeing patients seeking abortion care turned away from
emergency rooms.

This issue is a matter of life and death — and as always, these
restrictions fall hardest on Black, brown, low-income, LGBTQ+, Indigenous
folks, the disabled, and the most marginalized communities.

[ [link removed] ]Use your voice today and add your name to demand Congress take action
to stop these extremists and codify the right to abortion care — including
medication abortion — once and for all.

I will never stop fighting to affirm abortion care as healthcare and the
fundamental human right that it is.

Yours in service,

Ayanna
