Indivisibles,
This week, in the dead of night, the Supreme Court took a major step
towards overturning Roe v. Wade by allowing Texas to deny pregnant people
the right to an abortion after six weeks -- i.e., before almost anyone
knows they’re pregnant. As if that wasn’t dystopian enough, they also
allowed Texas to effectively offer bounties for reporting anyone who might
have been involved in enabling an abortion (including cab drivers!). Quite
literally, they promised every Texan a $10,000 check to personally
interfere in strangers' reproductive choices.
It’s hard to overstate how horrifying this is. Make no mistake -- this
ruling and Texas’s barbaric new law will kill people. Banning abortion
does not stop abortions from happening, it just makes them less safe.
There are three things you can do right now to fight back.
1. This morning, Nancy Pelosi announced that the House will soon vote on
Congresswoman Judy Chu’s Women’s Health Protection Act, which will
enshrine reproductive health rights across the nation. [ [link removed] ]Click here
to call your representative and demand they vote to pass the bill
without delay. (Real talk: This is the BEST legislative action you can
take right now.)
2. We need to rebalance the court. Donald Trump installed three (THREE!)
conservative extremists on the Supreme Court. His appointees are
dangerous, and will stop at nothing to destroy what’s left of Roe.
Democrats need to step up to protect all of our fundamental rights.
The Judiciary Act of 2021 is our best chance to undo this decades-long
GOP power grab and restore balance to the Supreme Court. [ [link removed] ]Click here
to call your representatives and tell them to cosponsor the court
expansion bill without delay. (Real talk: This is a long shot, but
will have a massive impact if Democrats find the resolve to do it.)
3. Outside of legislation, there are groups doing critical on-the-ground
work to make sure Texans have access to reproductive healthcare and
abortion. [ [link removed] ]Click here to make a donation to Texas abortion funds

to directly support Texans right away.)
Reproductive healthcare advocates have been warning for years that this
would happen, and it’s frightening and saddening to know we were right.
But there are real avenues to fix this, if we work together. Thank you for
being in the fight with us.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
