John,

Donald and J.D. Vance aren’t just the most anti-woman, anti-democratic GOP ticket in history — they’re plain weird.

While most Americans are worried about putting dinner on the table, Donald and Vance are busy complaining that “childless cat ladies” are the real problem facing America. And they’re not just going after people who don’t have kids — they’re trying to control our personal decisions about pregnancy and parenthood entirely.

In Donald and Vance’s America, families like mine would be under attack. I’m a “cat lady” who is lucky enough to have a human child thanks to fertility treatments. But because of my uncle’s work to pack our courts with extremist judges that led to the overturning of Roe v. Wade and abortion bans across the country, right-wing activists and lawmakers are now looking to restrict access to IVF and other fertility treatments next.

These are scary times, but it’s good to know where everyone stands.

I stand with the women of America to protect our reproductive rights and bodily autonomy. So do Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Walz has spoken openly about how he and his wife conceived their two children through fertility treatments. This fight is also personal to him.

We know where Donald and Vance stand. And we need to make sure neither of them gets anywhere near the Oval Office. Pitch in a split donation between Democracy Defense Fund and Fight for Progress so that we can elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, flip the House, and defend the Senate!

Last year, after Ohio voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment to protect reproductive rights, Vance called the people’s decision a “gut punch.”

We have the numbers. We can turn out millions of voters across the country who are ready to fight for our right to make our own decisions about our bodies and our families. So, this Election Day, let’s give Vance and Donald a gut punch they’ll remember.

In solidarity,
Dr. Mary L. Trump (and my cats Linden and Cap)
