John, a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade was heard by the Supreme Court last week.

There is a very real chance that this court -- which is dominated by hard-right conservatives after Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell rammed through judges over the voices of the American people -- will overturn Roe in a few months.

I joined my fellow House Democrats in September to pass the Women's Health Protection Act, which would protect Roe from a right-wing court's attacks. But this bill has gone nowhere since, because Senate Republicans can block legislation with just 41 votes using the filibuster.

We need to act fast to protect a woman's right to choose, and the first step is to repeal the filibuster. Please add your name to call for an end to this un-democratic tactic so that we can pass urgently-needed legislation →

If Roe v. Wade is overturned by the Supreme Court, it will be easier in many states for someone to buy a gun than it will be for a woman to access reproductive care.

That's not a reality I plan to accept, and stopping it from happening matters far more than maintaining an outdated Senate procedure.

I refuse to let minority rule stand in the way of women's health, and I hope you will stand with me in demanding that the Senate repeal the filibuster.

Thank you,
