John,

The Supreme Court’s right-wing majority just refused to block Texas’s unconscionable new law that bans abortion after only 6 weeks — a stage when most women don’t yet know they are pregnant. It’s unconscionable .

In just a moment, I’m going to tell you how you can help in Texas right now, but first, I want to tell you the stakes.

In her dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote:

“This equates to a near-categorical ban on abortions...Presented with an application to enjoin a flagrantly unconstitutional law engineered to prohibit women from exercising their constitutional rights and evade judicial scrutiny, a majority of Justices have opted to bury their heads in the sand.”

Yes they did. A 5-4 majority dominated by justices picked by Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell has effectively overturned Roe v. Wade in Texas. They were just too cowardly to do it outright. But in effect, that’s exactly what this ruling does.

If that’s not bad enough, this law places a $10,000 bounty on anyone who assists someone getting an abortion, even the person driving them to the clinic. And a case being brought by the Mississippi attorney general to the Supreme Court this fall could end up overturning Roe v. Wade for good.

Already, Florida Republicans are eagerly writing their own laws modeled off of the Texas ban with even more states ready to follow suit. Like their fanatical crusade against voting rights, Republicans have introduced more than 500 anti-choice bills in state legislatures this year alone: limiting reproductive freedom, restricting access to safe and legal abortion, or outright banning it.

This is just the start, unfortunately. Which is why it’s so important that we show right now that we won’t accept these unconstitutional rulings — Congress must act to enshrine the right to abortion now .

But here’s how you can help Texas women.

We have put together a list of 10 abortion and women’s health organizations across Texas that are working to help vulnerable people including low-income women, women of color, and transgender individuals gain access to safe, legal reproductive care. They need our support now more than ever. If you can afford it, your donation will go a long way.

Thank you, as always, for your activism. We won’t accept this ruling without a fight.

— Adam
