John,

This is a dark moment for abortion access and reproductive rights in the United States.

As a physician of over two decades, I’ve sat with women making difficult choices about their pregnancies, from choosing to terminate a pregnancy because their baby can’t live outside the womb, to women who have kept their babies, even at grave risk to their own lives.

So, when I say the consequences of laws like the one effectively banning abortion in Texas are horrific, it isn’t just rhetoric: I have seen it firsthand.

The anti-abortion law in Texas has empowered Republicans across the country to try to jam through more abortion restrictions. And even before the Texas law, Pennsylvania Republicans brought forward a so-called “heartbeat” bill that, like the one in Texas, would ban most abortions before many people even know they’re pregnant.

And the GOP won’t stop there. Access to birth control, emergency contraception, IUDs and other implants, and in vitro fertilization are all on the line.

Our ability to decide what happens to our own bodies and make our own reproductive choices is at stake.

In this crucial moment in history, we need a staunch defender of reproductive rights in the U.S. Senate.

As a physician, a mom, and a woman, I am that person.

I will always fight to defend reproductive justice, from working to codify the landmark Roe v. Wade case into law to ensuring the full range of reproductive health care is accessible to all.

But I’m counting on your help to stop an anti-abortion Republican from being elected to this seat — and to ensure that the GOP can’t gain control of the Senate and wipe out reproductive choice altogether. Will you chip in any amount to help send me to the U.S. Senate to defend reproductive rights during this defining moment for our country?
