The Supreme
Court just agreed to consider Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, a case
challenging Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban. This is urgent: the case
will be a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade.
This decision could have massive implications for Americans because one in
four women have had an abortion — and I am one of them.
I know firsthand what a profoundly personal choice getting an abortion is
and the importance of an individual's right to decide whether or not to
have one for themselves — regardless of income or what state they live
in.
I unapologetically stand with the vast majority of Americans on both sides
of the aisle who firmly believe that the right to safe, legal abortion
care must be protected. That's why I'm asking: [ [link removed] ]Can you split an urgent
contribution of $3 or whatever you can afford between our
campaign and the Planned Parenthood Action Fund today to help us defend
the right to choose?
[ [link removed] ]Contribute $3
I am fortunate to live in a state where pregnant people's right to make
choices about their own bodies is protected, where so many less fortunate
than me can still afford to have abortions without encountering barriers
like forced counseling and waiting periods. The network around me helped
me exercise my own choice rather than imposing someone else's views on me.
For me, terminating a pregnancy was not an easy choice, but it was my
choice. And that is what must be preserved for every person.
Congress must recommit to removing barriers to care and defending a
person's constitutionally protected right to make their own choices about
their own bodies. That can start with the Women's Health Protection Act
that I helped to introduce to create a safeguard against abortion bans and
medically unnecessary restrictions. Then the work must continue by
protecting our Senate majority so that Mitch McConnell doesn't control
which justices get on the Supreme Court.
[ [link removed] ]I truly believe our collective organizing and activism can hold the
line for reproductive rights in this country. If you can afford it at this
time, will you chip in a split contribution of $3 or more
between our campaign and the Planned Parenthood Action Fund today?
The battle to protect reproductive rights may feel exhausting, but we must
never stop. I assure you that I never will.
In solidarity,
Pramila
