John,

People across the country should all still be reeling from the news that the Supreme Court will hear a case to ban abortion at 15 weeks, clearly violating the constitutional right to privacy and abortion established by Roe v. Wade in 1973.

Our reproductive freedom hangs in the balance because of an overly-funded, extreme anti-choice minority that is committed to reproductive coercion and controlling pregnant people’s decisions.

While abortion is still legal in the United States, it’s extremely inaccessible now — particularly for low-income people and people living in the majority of counties without an abortion provider. This Supreme Court case will make it even more difficult to get health care, and even more dependent on where you live and how much money you have. This is by design.

But this moment is exactly why #VOTEPROCHOICE exists. If the Supreme Court is going to rob people of their reproductive freedom, then that freedom must be secured at the ballot box.

There is no time to waste. We have a strategic plan to take on these anti-choice politicians and replace them with pro-choice champions. Take a minute to read our plans in our op-ed and share it with your networks.

State legislatures are where these horrible anti-choice laws are passed. Pro-choice state legislatures must be protected, and anti-choice state legislatures must be transformed. Advocates must identify the anti-choice extremists and replace them all with candidates who support bodily autonomy like the majority of this country does.

Organizers must work obsessively in every single city, state, and county to elect sheriffs, district attorneys, public defenders, judges, and coroners who are champions for reproductive freedom and will not enforce these horrific, controlling anti-choice laws.

There is so much at stake in this battle. This moment requires reproductive rights and justice advocates to unite, focus, and improve our strategy to shift power to the pro-choice majority.

And that can be done by winning elections.

Can you help ensure that everyone in your network understands the importance of this moment by sharing our op-ed on Facebook and Twitter with your community today?

In solidarity,

Heidi L. Sieck
