Hi there,

An extremely troubling and infuriating stat was released earlier this year, and with Monday being the two-year anniversary of the fall of Roe v. Wade, we felt it was important to remind you why our work is so important.

According to NBC News, a study* estimated that, since abortion bans were put into place, “nearly 520,000 rapes were associated with 64,565 pregnancies across 14 states, most of which had no exceptions that allowed for terminations of pregnancies that occurred as a result of rape.”

Texas saw the highest numbers, which, according to the Houston Chronicle, had over 26,000 “rape-related pregnancies during the 16 months after the state outlawed all abortions, with no expectations for survivors of rape or incest.”

These findings are chilling. Greg Abbott and a room full of men crafted and passed legislation that has directly resulted in more than 26,000 rape victims in Texas being forced to carry their rapist’s baby. WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!

We need women in the rooms where these dangerous, deadly, sexist decisions are being made. We need women in these rooms to serve as a voice for ALL of the women in our country.

Women in America deserve better. Period. That’s why we are dedicated to working harder than ever before to elect fiercely pro-choice women who will fight for our fundamental freedoms. Will you join the fight to get our roster of 2024 candidates elected by donating $19.73 today?

We are just as angry as we were two years ago, and we have no doubt that you are, too. We are working to chip away at the male majorities in the states where abortion bans have been written. We desperately need to hear more women’s voices in the rooms where decisions about our bodies are being made.

For ALL women,
