Last week, The US Supreme Court (5:4) allowed a near-total ban on abortion in the State of Texas to stand (at 6 weeks many women don’t even know they are pregnant). If women’s rights are not secure in Texas -- they aren’t secure anywhere.
It is shameful, but not surprising. Across the country, Republican legislatures are copying each other’s playbook; orchestrating the largest assault on reproductive rights since Roe v. Wade. Emboldened and determined, the GOP is moving quickly, viewing last week as a sign of approval from the court.
We are never more than one election cycle away from seeing the institutions we hold sacred in America fall apart at the seams. At the Colorado Democratic Party, we will always stand with pro-choice politicians and work to retire the type of people that are responsible for the tragedy in Texas.
I hope you’ll chip in.
Morgan Carroll,
Chair, Colorado Democratic Party
