the petition now >>

Friend,

This week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on procedural
issues around the ability to challenge Texas’s draconian six-week abortion
ban and so-called “bounty hunter” law, S.B. 8. But as we await the Court’s
decision on that, the law’s damage might already have been done.

Since S.B. 8 went into effect this September, the number of abortions in
Texas has plummeted by more than 50% ^[1] – and dozens of far-right
lawmakers in other states have promised that they, too, would enact
heinously restrictive bans on abortion care. We need to keep up the
momentum of our movement for abortion justice and STOP these other
anti-choice bills from becoming law.

[ [link removed]- ]Sign your name today to reaffirm your commitment to protecting abortion
care for every person and to STOPPING abortion bans! >>

Arkansas, Oklahoma, Indiana, Montana and South Dakota have all put in
place restrictions to abortion access this year alone, and a Florida
lawmaker has already proposed a bill that directly copies the appalling
provisions of S.B. 8. In fact, states have enacted more than 100 abortion
restrictions this year in what has become the most restrictive year for
abortion access since Roe v. Wade was decided.^[2]

What's happening in Texas affects all of us. These are direct attacks on
our fundamental right to care, and we need your help to fight back against
these bans and ensure every single one of us has the right to control our
own bodies. Reproductive freedom is under attack, and it’s time for us to
band together to defend it.

the right to reproductive care! >>
