Abortion bans and harsh restrictions on reproductive care put lives at risk.
The reality of our country three years after the
Dobbs decision is undeniable. Across the nation, women are being denied emergency care and life-saving treatment, women and families are facing immense hardship as they’re forced to travel great distances in search of care, and the healthcare system is being strained.
When we hear first-hand accounts from those facing these hurdles, and anti-choice Republicans and extremists
still try to claim that restricting reproductive care doesn’t endanger lives, it angers me to no end. The truth is that “pro-life” movement doesn’t care about protecting life, it only cares about exerting control over women’s bodily autonomy.
That is made very clear in the GOP’s reckless budget plan, which will effectively defund Planned Parenthood. Over 200 clinics could be shuttered, leaving hundreds of thousands of Americans without access to the basic health care on which they rely, hitting rural and low-income communities especially hard.
Frankly, I’m tired of the GOP playing politics with our lives. I know you are too.
It’s time we federally enshrine reproductive rights into law. We can’t do that without Democratic majorities in Congress – and our work to do that has already begun. Will you pitch in $10 before our public FEC deadline to support our efforts to elect pro-choice majorities next year?
