Friend,
Yesterday, the Supreme Court heard two challenges to the new law in Texas that makes abortion illegal after just six weeks of pregnancy.
Next month, the Court will also hear a case involving Mississippi’s recent abortion ban — one that directly threatens Roe v. Wade.
With the Supreme Court stacked with three right-wing justices appointed by Donald Trump — including two stolen seats — if this bill goes before the Court it might establish a new precedent for abortion bans. With reproductive rights on the line for tens of millions of women — we need reproductive justice now.
Add your name to my petition supporting the Women’s Health Protection Act. Earlier this year, the House passed this comprehensive piece of reproductive rights legislation. We must expand our Senate majority, abolish the filibuster, and enshrine Roe v. Wade as federal law.
With Mitch McConnell leveraging the filibuster against every piece of legislation that he can, there’s little chance that we can get the Women’s Health Protection Act passed in this Congress.
That’s why I’m in favor of abolishing the filibuster. I became the first Senate co-sponsor of legislation to expand the Supreme Court, so Democrats can not only pass the transformative legislation voters demanded in the 2020 election, but restore balance to a Court that Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell have corrupted.
But right now, we must show McConnell and Senate Republicans that Americans everywhere not only still support Roe v. Wade but demand that Congress enshrine its protections for reproductive rights.
So, friend, will you become a citizen co-sponsor of the Women’s Health Protection Act? Let’s show the GOP that everyday Americans, the people they’re supposed to be representing, demand reproductive rights and won’t be dissuaded by this right-wing Supreme Court’s decisions.
Together, we will codify Roe v. Wade, protect abortion rights nationwide, and enact protections to prevent the GOP from enacting dreadful bans like SB 8 ever again.
Thank you for your support.
