Folks, we have good news and bad news. We'll start with the bad news:
|
Just a couple of weeks ago, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promised Republican state attorneys general that the Food and Drug Administration would "review" the safety of the medication abortion mifepristone.
|
(AKA, he vowed to find any excuse for them to limit women's access to the proven-safe and effective pill...that has been used for the past 25 years.)
|
Now here's the good (actually, GREAT!) news:
|
Last week, the FDA quietly APPROVED a generic form of mifepristone, effectively expanding access to this critical reproductive care option!
|
But we can't start celebrating yet: According to the White House, RFK Jr. will continue his so-called study of mifepristone's "reported adverse effects" – and he's still the same unqualified anti-vaxxer chosen by Trump and Republicans to rubber-stamp their extreme agenda.
|
So before we go any further, Michael Bennet wants to know – do you trust RFK Jr. to protect women's reproductive health care?
|
|
We fully expect the findings of RFK Jr.’s "review" to be far from scientific, especially since the anti-abortion extremist wing of the GOP is livid over the FDA's ruling, and he is facing more pressure than ever to reverse course.
|
And, despite recent events, we have to remember: During his confirmation hearings, RFK Jr. swore to back Trump's anti-abortion agenda.
|
So with mifepristone BANNED in 14 states and threatened nationwide, as our next governor, Michael Bennet is set on keeping Colorado a safe haven for women's right to access safe and legal reproductive care – regardless of RFK Jr.'s next move.
|
But since he's running a people-powered campaign, he wants to make sure he's in line with his grassroots team on this important issue.
|
For statistical significance, we need to know how you and at least 9,999 more grassroots supporters feel about the issue by 11:59 p.m. tonight – so please, friend, respond immediately:
|
Do you trust RFK Jr. to protect women's reproductive health care?
