John,
I’m deeply disturbed by the Texas abortion ban that the Supreme Court allowed to go into effect, even though it flies right in the face of Roe v. Wade.
The law bans abortion at six weeks, earlier than most women know they’re even pregnant. It doesn’t allow for exceptions in the cases of rape or incest, and creates a vigilante system to enforce the dystopian measure. Folks can sue health care providers if they suspect them of “aiding or abetting” abortions and could receive over $10,000 as a reward.
This didn’t happen suddenly, it’s part of a carefully planned strategy from anti-choice activists over the years to outlaw abortion in America. Will you donate to our movement today so we can codify abortion rights into law to fight back?
This Texas law is a result of factors set in motion by anti-choice activists. They worked to help Trump win the Presidency and pressured the administration to pick judges like Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barret who would be willing to overturn Roe v. Wade.
They’ve worked with GOP legislators across the country to pass increasingly invasive abortion laws in the hopes that one day a conservative supermajority on the court would allow them to go into effect. That reality has finally been realized.
What’s terrifying is that things could get even worse if Republicans take control of Congress next year. The GOP tried to defund Planned Parenthood last time they were in charge, but with a conservative court, they could feel emboldened to pass laws far more aggressive to ban abortions in America.
Will you contribute to our cause to keep Congress blue? If Democrats stay in control, we can fight to codify abortion rights into law. If Republicans win, they’ll try to ban it.
