BREAKING FROM THE WASHINGTON POST: "Justice Department files emergency motion seeking to block enforcement of Texas's six-week abortion ban"
|
|
John, abortions are now essentially BANNED in Texas. After a close 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court REFUSED to block Texas’s six-week abortion ban. Now, the DOJ has filed an EMERGENCY motion to block enforcement of the law.

This shameful law and Gov. Greg Abbott’s reign of terror in Texas must be stopped. Quickly – add your name to stand with the Democrats fighting to END Gov. Abbott’s reign of terror!

John – what’s happening in Texas is downright scary. The Supreme Court has allowed the most extreme abortion ban in the country take effect. Gov. Greg Abbott’s egregious law prohibits abortions as early as six weeks – before many people know they are pregnant. It also allows private citizens to SUE anyone who helps people access abortion – and collect a $10,000 bounty.

“The Supreme Court’s ruling overnight is an unprecedented assault on a woman’s constitutional rights under Roe v. Wade, which has been the law of the land for almost fifty years.” – Joe Biden
|
|
With a 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court, Republican-led states across the country are pursuing similar policies. But Democrats are stepping up. President Biden blasted the law as “clearly unconstitutional” and now the DOJ has filed an emergency motion to stop its enforcement. And Nancy Pelosi has scheduled a House vote on a bill that would strike down current state restrictions on abortion and prevent states from imposing new ones!

|
Protecting reproductive rights is one of the most important issues we face. 8 in 10 Americans agree that abortion should be legal. But with it under attack in Texas and across the nation, and Roe v. Wade hanging on by a thread, we need to hear from you. We need 287 signatures from reliable Democrats in PA before 11:59 p.m. tonight to DEFEAT Governor Greg Abbott – but right now we're missing yours.
