John, Roe v. Wade is hanging by a thread. Earlier this month the Supreme Court heard arguments on a Mississippi law that could overturn Roe for good. Then the Court essentially upheld forced pregnancy by refusing to block Texas’ abortion ban, which bans abortion before many even know they are pregnant. We cannot let dangerous laws like this stand and as a doctor, I can tell you that every day they do is another day pregnant people cannot access the health care they need. We need to codify Roe v. Wade at the federal level immediately to protect abortion access. The warning signs are clear, Roe is in serious jeopardy and it looks like we cannot count on the Supreme Court to uphold nearly 50 years of precedence. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: In my life, I’ve spent countless hours in hospitals with patients. And let me tell you, as a doctor, when you are sitting at the bedside with someone as they are making difficult decisions the last thing that’s needed is a politician in that room. These decisions belong between an individual and their doctor, period. But state legislatures ramming through abortion restriction after abortion restriction have made it clear: We are in the middle of an all-out assault on abortion rights and if the Supreme Court next strikes down Roe v. Wade, the consequences will be horrific. I am not being hyperbolic when I say we should be ringing every alarm bell and we need to act to codify Roe as soon as possible. Thank you, Val
