John, we won't stop speaking out about this.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, a case over an extreme Mississippi law that bans abortions after 15 weeks. Whatever outcome is decided will set a critical precedent for abortion access in America.
We have seen before that we cannot trust this far-right Supreme Court to do the right thing, and yesterday they reminded us of just that. During the arguments, the conservative justices indicated that they would uphold the Mississippi law — and possibly overturn Roe v. Wade entirely.
This could be the end of Roe v. Wade, John. If it is overturned, abortion will fall under state jurisdiction, and 22 states — including Missouri — already have laws on the books to ban abortion.
We can't emphasize this enough: We're currently witnessing the worst attacks on reproductive rights in our lifetime. It's why Cori has been busy organizing to demand equitable and quality abortion care for anyone who wants it. It's why Cori recently spoke in front of Congress and publicly shared for the first time that she was sexually assaulted, became pregnant, and chose to have an abortion.
And it's why we're reaching out today to ask for your support in this work. Will you chip in $5 or anything you can right now to send a powerful message to anti-abortion politicians that our grassroots movement is rising up to protect our reproductive freedom and demand abortion care for all?
We need our movement to come together to protect abortion access for everyone, but especially Black, brown, low-income, queer, and young folks who are disproportionately harmed by abortion bans. We need to show up for our neighbors no matter how hard or scary it gets.
We're working towards more than just a world where abortion care is legal. We're working towards a world where no one is harassed or shamed for accessing basic health care.
We must continue pushing for the expansion of the Supreme Court and the passage of policies that would secure reproductive health justice. Cori is ready to lead this work, but she also needs our grassroots support to fund her organizing and legislating efforts to defend abortion access:
Together,
Team Cori
