It's easy to be disheartened by attack after attack (after attack…). Don't be. We can fight back against these unprecedented attacks to abortion access and Roe v. Wade if we stick together. Last week, Missouri passed a ban on abortion that criminalizes doctors and makes abortion a felony. You've seen the other recent headlines too: Georgia governor signs restrictive abortion ban. Ohio's abortion ban is latest front in fight over Roe. Alabama abortion law could become most restrictive in the country. |

Anti-abortion politicians are having a field day eliminating our ability to access safe, legal abortion. All across the country, they've been chipping away at our reproductive rights at an unprecedented — and devastating clip. Here's where they stand so far: 
It's BAD. Really bad. It's why you've been hearing so much from us lately — and why I'm sending you another email. I know it's a lot, but it really, really matters. I need to know you're with us in this fight, because the stakes are only going to get higher. Add your name to tell these anti-abortion, anti-reproductive health, anti-everything-we-stand-for politicians, "No bans. No way." No matter where you live, you still have the right to safe and legal abortion care. None of the recently-passed abortion bans have yet gone into effect. We will be fighting back against these attacks with everything we've got. Attempts at abortion bans are nothing new, but the flood of bills this year is no coincidence. With President Trump in the White House and Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, anti-abortion extremists see this as their golden opportunity to dismantle our rights and freedoms, including our right to access safe, legal abortion. Just a few years ago these bills were too extreme for many state politicians to even touch — now they're passing and governors are signing them on what feels like a daily basis. So that's the bad news. The good news is, this community is fired up and on the offensive: 
Extreme anti-women's health politicians get a little more emboldened every time a bill gets passed that would ban access to safe, legal abortion. But every time they come after our rights, attack Planned Parenthood patients, or try to chip away at Roe, this community is THERE. And we'll answer every last attack they throw our way, because we deserve to control our bodies, lives, and futures — no matter who we are or where we live. This fight isn't possible unless each of us step up and do our part. So please, click *right here*, add your name, and let's stay strong. Abortion is OUR right, and we won't quit until EVERY person has the access they deserve. 
P.S. Ready to do even more to fight back against these attacks? Join us tomorrow, Tuesday, May 21, for a national day of action — learn how you can take action from near or afar to make sure these bans don't go unchallenged. P.P.S. Got plans tonight? Dr. Leana Wen, President of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, will be on The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC. Tune in tonight around 9:30pm!
