Content Warning: This email mentions maternal mortality and pregnancy-related deaths.
It has been 136 days since Texans have been able to fully access abortion care.
Banning access to abortion doesn’t stop abortions. It just means that patients are forced to go to extraordinary lengths to receive care or seek out dangerous alternatives. Every day that S.B. 8, the most extreme abortion ban in the country, remains in effect, Texans face irreversible damage that has rippling effects across the nation.
We must continue to remain vigilant in the face of attacks from all sides. Will you chip in $3 today to help fund our organizing efforts for reproductive rights?
Texas already has the highest maternal mortality rate in the nation, and for Black folks, that rate is three to four times higher than for white Texans. Abortion bans and any restrictions to reproductive care are racist and cause an undue burden on people of color, low-income communities, and working families.
The Supreme Court should have blocked this blatantly unconstitutional law when it first went into effect and now we are already seeing other Republican-led state legislatures attempt to copy and paste this unconstitutional law.
Our reproductive rights hang in the balance as we await the Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling with a court system stacked by the Trump administration. Congress must act now to protect abortion rights before a potentially devastating decision.
We’ll level with you — the fight ahead is an uphill battle, but our movement is strong enough to make the journey ahead. Will you contribute to our organizing efforts as we fight for reproductive rights across the nation?
Next Saturday, January 22, will mark the 49th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. We can’t allow our progress to be pushed back. We must bring our movement forward to honor reproductive rights for all.
We can’t afford for 136 days to turn into a lifetime.
In solidarity,
Tamika Middleton
Managing Director
