John,
Abortion rights just took center stage, and the contrast between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris could not be clearer.
Trump continued to lie about his record on abortion and downplayed threats to access. Meanwhile, Vice President Harris doubled down on reproductive rights as foundational freedoms—representing the overwhelming majority of Americans who do not want politicians interfering in personal healthcare decisions.
With her leadership at the top of the ticket, the map of opportunity continues to expand. But if we don’t invest in pro-choice voters, we risk losing way more than the White House.
This election will be determined by pro-choice voters, and because Vote Pro-Choice has a net +19-point trustworthiness among likely voters from every party, we’re working overtime to engage millions of voters between now and November.
Before the night is over, can you support our work to educate, engage, and turn out voters with a gift of $10?
Thank you for your support and solidarity!

John,
Tonight is debate night, but Donald Trump lies so predictably about abortion rights that we’re sending you a fact check before the debate. As he spews his signature mix of word salad and disinformation, here are five key facts you should know.
-
If elected, Trump will continue his destruction of abortion access. We can’t fall for recent attempts to backpedal. He bragged about overturning Roe, deliberately installed hundreds of anti-abortion judges, pledged support for a national ban, and gutted Title X funding. His anti-choice record speaks for itself.
-
Trump can effectively ban abortion without an act of Congress. He’s previously supported a national ban, and the truth is, he doesn’t need to pick up a pen to do it. Trump could ban abortion by directing his Department of Justice to enforce the Comstock Act, a zombie law from the 1800s designed to block the distribution of abortion medication —regardless of what happens in Congress.
-
Despite what Trump says, Roe was widely popular. Trump continues to peddle the outrageous lie that ‘everyone wanted’ a reversal of Roe. Let’s be clear: voters did not ask for this. An overwhelming majority of Americans disapproved of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe.
-
‘Letting the states decide’ is not a solution. Since the overturning of Roe, we’ve seen infant death rates skyrocket in states like Texas, pregnant women routinely airlifted out of states like Idaho, and emergency room doctors sound the alarm in states like Louisiana. And when organized efforts to restore abortion rights through ballot initiatives gain momentum, Trump-allied politicians do everything they can to block the will of the people. We saw it last year in Ohio, and we see it now in places like Missouri.
-
Kamala Harris is the only pro-choice candidate on that stage. Vice President Harris has been in this fight for a long time, first in local and state office; then in the Senate, and for the past three years, as Vice President. She has a deep understanding of reproductive freedom as an intersectional and economic issue, and she’s positioned to be the most pro-choice president in history.
Abortion recently polled as the number one issue for young women across swing states. Pro-choice voters will decide this election up and down the ballot.
That’s why we’re laser-focused on investing in the pro-choice electorate by building voter resources to make a difference in every race, from city council to state supreme courts.
To deliver on the Harris-Walz campaign’s robust agenda, we need to invest in pro-choice voters right now. Ahead of debate night, can you chip in with a gift of any amount to make sure that we win seats up and down the ballot?
Thanks for your support—and if you’re tuning in tonight, we’ll be right there with you.
My best,
Sara Tabatabaie
