Today marks the 49th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s ruling to protect access to abortion care under Roe v. Wade.
I want to make my stance clear: Everyone deserves access to quality health care and privacy to make deeply personal health care decisions with their doctors.
But as we’ve seen with the surge in attacks against abortion access — the fight for reproductive justice is nowhere near over. Right now, states like Kentucky are in grave danger to lose the right to an abortion if Mitch McConnell’s packed Supreme Court succeeds in overturning Roe v. Wade.
Especially after the Supreme Court signaled last year that they will support Texas’ 6-week abortion ban and disavow the rights enshrined to us under the original Roe v. Wade ruling — we should all be deeply concerned.
What’s happening right now is an urgent reminder of the work ahead of us to defend reproductive rights.
We must keep organizing to make sure everyone has quality health care, including abortion access. Reproductive health care must be protected. Women’s rights must be protected. The Supreme Court must be expanded.
This is also a reminder of how much is at stake in our elections. This is why we’re running against Rand Paul who has consistently upheld an anti-woman and anti-family agenda and voted against the protections we need to defend reproductive rights. This is why it’s so critical we expand our Senate majority and end the destructive filibuster that has blocked so many opportunities to protect abortion access in our country.
No matter what, we won’t back down. Together, we will fight to make sure women can make choices over their health care and their lives. If you’re ready to rise up with us in this work, please show your support today and chip in $5 to support our grassroots campaign.
In solidarity,
Charles
