Movement family,


Three years after the Supreme Court denied our bodily autonomy and ripped
away the basic right to abortion care in America, the devastating outcomes
are still reverberating across our country. Now, we face a hostile
Administration doubling down on ripping away essential healthcare.

Today, I want to tell you about a mother named Adriana Smith.

Adriana Smith, who was a 30-year-old nurse and a mother to a vibrant
six-year-old son.

She was sent home from the hospital without the care she needed. She woke
up gasping for air, returned back to the hospital, and shortly thereafter,
was declared brain dead. The blood clots the doctors had missed had
claimed her life.

Adriana’s pain was dismissed, and her son was robbed of a mother. And
because of an extreme abortion ban in Georgia, the hospital stated they
could not take her off of life support.

She was nine weeks pregnant, only about a month after a missed period.

The hospital made her body an incubator and denied her family the right to
make sensitive medical decisions.

Across this nation, abortion bans are a threat to all of us and our loved
ones. And the impact on Black and brown families, disabled and LGBTQ+
folks have been severe.

Now Republicans are doubling down. Their Big, Ugly Bill would devastate
reproductive healthcare: destroying Medicaid as we know it, defunding
Planned Parenthood health centers, and barring private insurers on the ACA
marketplace from offering abortion coverage — including in states like
Massachusetts.

As we mark this somber anniversary, we must do everything to protect our
reproductive freedom and advance an affirmative vision for a just America
where abortion justice is realized.

That starts with preventing Trump and Republicans’ shameful Big Ugly Bill
from putting health care further out of reach for millions and stopping it
in its tracks as it makes its way through the Senate.

This unjust status quo is not an inevitability.

A more just America is possible. An America where abortion justice is
realized and everyone — no matter their zip code, income, or immigration
status — can access the care they need with dignity in their own
community.

We must defeat this Big Ugly Bill before it dismantles essential health
care in America, and we must keep pushing for comprehensive policies like
my Abortion Justice Act, the Women’s Health Protection Act, and the EACH
Act to protect and expand abortion access and affirm our fundamental
rights.”

Another world is possible. And together, we’ll keep building the more just
America our communities deserve — one where our children have every right
and freedom that we grew up with and more.

In Solidarity,

Ayanna
