Abortion rights under attack in Florida [link removed] [[link removed]]Dear Friend,
It’s been 49 years since the Supreme Court recongized a person’s constitutional right to have an abortion. Today, we face the grim reality that this could very well be the last anniversary of Roe v. Wade .
This isn’t me being alarmist. This is me being realistic.
As we await the Supreme Court’s decision on Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban, it’s become increasingly clear Florida may no longer have federal protections to fall back on. If Roe is overturned, abortion will be banned in roughly half of the country, and Florida would be the only abortion care option in the southern United States.
But as we saw on day one, Republicans in the legislature launched an all out attack on abortion rights, pushing a 15-week abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest. The bill already passed its first committee hearing, and it’s only a matter of time before this dangerous bill becomes law.
Will you chip in $50 as a symbol of hope that Roe remains law to see its 50th anniversary? Your support will help us protect our incumbents and elect more Democratic pro-choice women who will make preserving abortion rights in Florida a top priority. [[link removed]]

Onward,
