Friend – 

In the three years since the Supreme Court majority ended the right to an abortion via the Dobbs decision, I am so grateful that Colorado has continued to be a safe haven for women to make decisions about their reproductive health care and have access to the care they need.

If you agree, then before I explain why that is, will you please chip in $5 or more now to help me keep it that way as our next governor?

Today, four of the seven states bordering us have cracked down on abortion access, and the national GOP continues to use Dobbs to go after other forms of reproductive care, like medication abortion, birth control, IVF, and more. Since 2022, maternal mortality rates have skyrocketed in states where abortion access is limited.

But I believe the right to choose shouldn't depend on where you live.

I believe all women, in Colorado and across the country, have the right to choose.

So that's why, during my time as a senator, and long before Dobbs was on the docket, I've worked to ensure all Americans can access safe and affordable reproductive health care. Most recently, I joined my Democratic colleagues in reintroducing the Women’s Health Protection Act – both to reaffirm the right to choose nationwide and to save women's lives.

But with anti-abortion Republicans securely in the majority, it went nowhere. 

That’s why I believe that, today, it is the states – not Washington – that will show our country the way forward. And as Colorado’s governor, I'll continue to be an unwavering champion for reproductive health care access and fight back against any Trump administration action that infringes on the right to choose in our state. 

But with a far-right Republican in this race who supports criminalizing abortion – even in cases of rape or incest – I can't follow through on my promise without your help today.

So if you're able, will you please rush $5, $10 or anything right now to help me defend Colorado's status as a safe haven for reproductive health care access?

Thanks, and take care,

Michael
