Team—

On September 1, one of the most dangerous and draconian abortion bans in the entire country, SB 8, is set to take effect in Texas, but your state could be next. This law bans abortion care as early as six weeks of pregnancy before many people even know they are pregnant, puts a bounty on the heads of those helping pregnant people seek abortion care, and could provide a blueprint for other states to ban abortion.

This is not a drill. Reproductive freedom is under attack — not only in Texas — but across the country. We must fight back against SB 8 and other copycat bans that could be coming.

Join us virtually on September 1 for a Day of Action to fight back against these attacks on our fundamental freedoms and show our solidarity with the Texas Freedom Network and activists on the ground by engaging on social media.

Texas
today,
our
state
tomorrow.
If
allowed
to
go
into
effect,
people
in
TX
are
going
to
experience
an
extreme
abortion
ban
starting
September
1
—
but
that
won’t
be
the
end.
This
ban,
#SB8,
will
be
the
blueprint
for
bans
across
the
country.
Unless
we
do
something
about
it.
2.
It’s
pretty
simple:
We
should
all
be
able
to
make
our
own
decisions
about
our
health
and
future.
But
between
TX’s
extreme
abortion
ban
and
other
states
passing
a
record
number
of
abortion
restrictions
this
year,
we
have
to
fight
for
reproductive
freedom
for
every
body.

The
newest
TX
abortion
ban,
#SB8,
gives
anti-choice
activists,
neighbors,
and
even
strangers
the
right
to
sue
those
who
provide
—
or
just
help
patients
access
—
abortion
care
after
about
6
wks.
They
won’t
stop
with
TX.
If
we
don’t
fight
back,
we
could
see
similar
restrictions
across
the
country.
#BansOffOurBodies

This is our chance to show our lawmakers that we — the 77% of Americans who support the legal right to abortion — will not be silent as our rights are threatened by anti-choice extremists trying to chip away at Roe v. Wade.

The Texas law is one of more than 90 abortion restrictions passed across the country this year alone. Make no mistake: Anti-choice extremists are paying close attention to Texas to see if they can use SB 8 as a blueprint to roll back abortion access all across the country.

Join us virtually and show solidarity for our partners on the ground defending abortion access in Texas by engaging on social media.

Thanks for all you do for reproductive freedom,

Team NARAL
