John—
Imagine you’re a Tennessee state legislator. Your state has seen over
21,000 cases of COVID-19. More than 350 of your neighbors have died since
March.^1
Over 558,000 of your constituents have filed for unemployment in the last
several weeks, and the unemployment trust fund could run out in just
weeks.^2,3
What would your priorities be?
For Republican members of the House Public Health Subcommittee, it’s
advancing multiple bans on abortion — not helping their constituents.
Even as the pandemic continues, it’s back to “business as usual” for
anti-choice extremists in Tennessee. [ [link removed] ]Chip in $15 now to
help fight back against extreme bans on abortion in Tennessee and in
states across the country →
Even now, radical anti-choice politicians are obsessed with putting their
own backward ideology over public health — instead of focusing on
solutions to a major global crisis and the worst economic conditions since
the Great Depression. It’s appalling.^4
They're supposed to be working for us — being real public servants. But
attacking our reproductive freedom and controlling our personal decisions
is evidently more important to them than doing their job.
The Subcommittee advanced a near-total ban on abortion. And as if that
wasn’t enough, they also advanced a mega-ban with multiple provisions to
prevent pregnant people from accessing care. It mirrors a Tennessee Senate
bill considered earlier this year that includes a ban on abortion before
most people even know they’re pregnant and imposes forced ultrasounds —
all to let politicians interfere in our decisions. The bill also includes
cascading bans on abortion at almost every stage of pregnancy modeled
after the extreme bill passed in Missouri last year.

$15 to fight back against cruel attacks on abortion access
like Tennessee's mega-ban and replace anti-choice legislators with
champions for reproductive freedom »
Make no mistake, this is a comprehensive assault on the fundamental rights
of women and families — and it proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the
anti-choice movement will take any opportunity they have to attack
reproductive freedom — even during a global crisis.
It’s the worst kind of hypocrisy.

THE BANS and expand reproductive freedom!
