Friend – 49 years ago this month, the U.S. Supreme Court issued their decision in Roe v. Wade, the groundbreaking case that legalized abortion nationwide.
|
A majority of Americans support access to safe and legal abortion. But, Republicans from state houses across the country to Washington, D.C., continue to wage an all-out assault on reproductive rights. AND they’ve packed the Supreme Court to push their anti-abortion agenda.
|
But now, the Supreme Court is poised to roll back a right we have had for nearly half a century. In states like Texas and Mississippi, Republicans have already gone against the public and made abortion rights a thing of the past. If Republicans get their way, this reality won’t be limited to a few states. It will affect people all across the country.
|
We need to be just as determined as they are in our fight to keep abortion legal. But it's going to take unprecedented levels of community organizing to fight back – and a clear-eyed recognition that we win this fight by winning more elections for Democrats.
|
So please, friend, just a few days after the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, will you pitch in $5 to make sure we have what it takes to defeat the GOP's attacks on abortion?

Thank you,
