John,
The U.S. Supreme Court decided last month that emergency health care (including life-saving abortion care) could continue in states with total abortion bans. To give you an idea of what that actually looks like, here's a map of where abortion is currently banned:
But here's the thing: This ruling is only a stopgap. SCOTUS did not rule on whether emergency abortions were legal; they only sent this fight back to lower courts to be argued again. And we know anti-choice extremists will continue to try all avenues to attack our rights in the meantime. This is where EMILYs List comes in. If you're able, please donate now to replace anti-choice extremists with Democratic pro-choice women nationwide.
Denying abortion care in medical emergencies means more women dying while doctors watch helplessly. This is the future Trump and his extreme GOP allies have worked for, John. They're playing politics with people's lives, and they were never going to stop at overturning Roe v. Wade.
No one should be turned away from emergency care in life-threatening situations. It's as simple as that.
Our task now is to get anti-choice extremists fighting for these horrific policies out of office everywhere.
EMILYs List has endorsed more than 125 women (and counting!) this cycle who can protect abortion rights by holding and flipping seats up and down the ballot. Donate now to help Democratic pro-choice women win:
DONATE $15 | DONATE $35 |
DONATE $50 | DONATE $100 |

Thank you for standing up for our fundamental rights,
the EMILYs List team
