John, every American has the right to their full reproductive health choices – and if you're one of the many Americans watching in fear as the GOP attempts to take away reproductive freedoms, I want you to know that I'm protecting your right to choose.
|
In the past few months, I've watched in horror as GOP governors have signed extremist laws that completely dismantle the right for a patient and doctor to make medical choices together – like a law in South Carolina, which restricts abortions before many people even know that they're pregnant.
|
Even worse, the GOP is attempting to federally ban reproductive rights hard-won by feminist trailblazers – taking us back in progress by 50 years. The truth is, a majority of Americans favor legalized abortion, and yet 228 GOP lawmakers just formally asked the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.
|
These GOP leaders are in the business of dehumanizing us and violating our freedom. As governor, I have ensured that New Mexico is not in that business – not anymore. This year, I took a law off the books that once criminalized doctors for providing abortions, which sent a message to New Mexicans that I'll always preserve your reproductive freedom.
|
Medical choices are between a doctor and the patient – not the government, not anyone else. No matter what happens in states next door or even at the Supreme Court, access to reproductive health is protected in New Mexico. Advocates, community leaders and I have worked hard to make sure of it.
|
That's why I'm working so hard to keep New Mexico blue. We've protected reproductive freedoms from extremist GOP leaders – but all of our progress could be wiped away if our state flips red. So, John, please help me elect Democrats up and down the ballot by making a contribution today. Every dollar will help my campaign continue to protect reproductive freedoms – and pass our bold, progressive agenda.

Thank you for standing by me as I defend reproductive freedom. With help from people like you, I know we'll overcome the GOP and continue to work toward a brighter New Mexico.
Thanks for your support,
Michelle Lujan Grisham
