Indivisibles,
Three years ago today, the Trump-made Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and plunged the country into an ongoing abortion access crisis. For many MAGA Republicans, it was a lifelong goal finally accomplished -- one Trump gleefully claimed credit for.
What happened next was something MAGA folks never saw coming. We reminded them that Americans, even many lifelong Republicans, really don’t like when our bodily freedoms are taken away.
All over the country -- from battleground states like Arizona to “deep red” ones like Kansas and Missouri -- people rose up to beat abortion bans back at the ballot box. And in communities nationwide, healthcare providers, activists, and community leaders came together to help keep abortion care available to those who need it, no matter where they live.
Trump and Republicans saw our power, and suddenly they weren’t so eager to talk openly about their abortion bans. But MAGA attacks on reproductive freedom haven’t stopped or slowed. They’ve simply become quieter and more insidious.
Emerging attacks on reproductive freedom
Since Trump retook office in January, hundreds of attacks on reproductive care -- many that could effectively create “backdoor abortion bans” -- have been launched by his administration or his lapdogs in Congress. They include:
That’s a very, very partial list of ways that Donald Trump and his MAGA minions are knocking on the door of a new wave of abortion bans and roadblocks. Their efforts are often covert, insidious, relentless.
How to fight back
We’ll level with you. The clearest path to guaranteeing abortion access and full reproductive freedom nationwide is a pro-choice president and pro-choice majorities in Congress who will pass and sign nationwide protections.
But there are still powerful and meaningful actions that you can take to defend reproductive freedom today! Here are some ways to take action right now:
The freedom to make your own healthcare and family-planning decisions is a basic human right, and no wannabe tyrant is going to take that from us. We’ve proven time and time again that the American people -- in every party, state, and community -- will stand together and fight when that freedom is threatened.
And when we fight, we win.
In solidarity, Indivisible Team
