John—
You’ve probably seen the news: Joe Biden is set to name his pick for vice president this week.
But while pundits clamor over which woman he’s going to choose, this is what I’m thinking about: Every single one of them is a champion for reproductive freedom who will add to a winning ticket and be the polar opposite of Vice President Mike Pence.
Though Donald Trump makes most of the headlines, for those of us paying attention, it’s been clear Pence has been a key source of anti-choice fervor and this administration’s near-daily attacks on reproductive freedom all along. And over the last four years, he’s shown just how powerful and important a motivated vice president can be.
The contrast between the women on Biden's VP shortlist and Pence couldn't be starker. Having a pro-choice — and yes, ambitious — woman as vice president won’t just make history… it won’t just help us win in November… it will turn the tide for reproductive freedom in this country.
That’s why we’re kicking off a 2020 Reproductive Freedom Fund to ensure we can do everything possible to elect candidates up and down the ballot who will fight for our freedom. Will you donate $15 to become a Founding Donor today?

Having spent his career on a crusade against everything we stand for — including abortion rights, access to affordable birth control, the health and safety of the LGBTQ+ community, and the ability to make decisions about our own bodies — it’s fair to say that Pence is obsessed with attacking reproductive freedom.
And he has the record to back it up: signing every abortion restriction bill that passed his desk as governor of Indiana, casting the deciding vote on a bill to let states block family planning funding from going to abortion providers, and saying he “long[s] for the day that Roe v. Wade is sent to the ash heap of history.”1,2,3
We’ve seen the damage a vice president with Mike Pence’s fanatical anti-choice agenda can do in the White House — that’s why we’re going to work around the clock for the next 94 days to replace him with a passionate leader who shares our agenda. And we can do it — with your help.
So I’m asking, John: Will you donate $15 to become a Founding Donor of our 2020 Reproductive Freedom Fund today?
Sincerely,
 Ilyse Hogue President, NARAL Pro-Choice America
With the support of people like you, we can make sure that freedom is for every body.
