People For Member,

When the clock struck midnight last night, residents of Texas were placed
under the strictest anti-abortion measures in the country. Texas Senate
Bill 8, which passed earlier this year, is a direct attack on the
reproductive freedoms enshrined in Roe v. Wade and threatens the very
foundations of this historic ruling.

Yet the Supreme Court has been eerily silent on the law when asked to
issue a ruling preventing it from taking effect, and as we wait to see how
and if the Court responds to the request, we need supporters like you to
SPEAK OUT against this disastrous law that threatens reproductive freedom
and affirm your commitment to protecting choice!

affirm your commitment to protecting reproductive freedoms! >>

Texas’s SB 8 unleashes what amounts to vigilante justice for those seeking
health care from their physician by banning abortion after six weeks of
pregnancy, even in the case of rape or incest.

Instead of the state enforcing the draconian restrictions, the law sets up
a twisted incentive for private individuals to step in and sue others they
suspect of having or providing abortion care -- the patient, their
physician, and nearly anyone who may have assisted in facilitating the
procedure. The incentive: a $10,000 “reward” for successfully suing a
recipient or provider of abortion.

The intent is clear – to force all health centers that provide abortions
in the state to close by saddling them with lawsuits that consume their
time and resources, and to intimidate patients seeking abortion care.

We cannot and will not go back to the days of back-alley abortions – we
must speak out in opposition to SB 8 and remain firm in our commitment to
protecting reproductive choice!

[ [link removed] ]Add your name now to join the countless people across the country in
opposition to this barbaric law and renew your commitment in the fight to
defend reproductive freedom! >>

With the current conservative majority on the Supreme Court, Roe may be in
serious jeopardy in the months ahead and we cannot allow the Far Right to
win.

Thanks for all that you do.

In solidarity,

Zach, People For the American Way
