John — huge news last night: A federal judge has temporarily blocked Texas’s unconstitutional six-week abortion ban. This is a big win for reproductive justice — and a massive blow to Republicans all across the country attempting to restrict access to women’s health care. But it’s far from the end of our fight to defend reproductive rights. If anything, Texas’s law is only on hold. Without a law in place to protect the right of people to have abortions, abortion access remains at stake. Already, right-wing anti-abortion activists are planning to appeal this decision to the very court that allowed this extreme abortion ban to happen in the first place. If we don’t enshrine the right to an abortion into law, we risk not only ending up back where we were yesterday morning — but we risk letting the Supreme Court overturn Roe altogether. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: In just a few weeks, the effects of Texas’s ban have been devastating. Since September, abortion has been nearly impossible to access in the state, leaving people without safe, legal options. And already, lawsuits have been filed against doctors providing needed care to their patients. We cannot allow this to stand. We can’t leave this up to the courts. We need federal action to codify Roe v. Wade and expand — not restrict — reproductive rights. Val knows what’s at stake here: As a doctor, she’s sat with women making these choices. She’s the right person to lead on keeping critical health care decisions between patients and their doctors — not politicians and their pens. Thanks, Team Val
