26, John.
That’s how many states currently have “trigger laws” which would essentially BAN abortion access if our Supreme Court decides to overturn Roe v. Wade. Anti-abortion extremists have been plotting for years to erase abortion access through these laws and we refuse to let their work go undetected.
In this email we’ll explain exactly what trigger laws are and why they pose such a grave threat to reproductive rights. When you’re done reading we hope you’ll chip in $2.60 to our Reproductive Justice Defense Fund to help us fight back against abortion trigger laws in 26 states and make sure abortion access is protected for all.
What are trigger laws? Trigger laws are amendments or laws created by state legislatures that would further restrict, or outright ban, abortions almost immediately if Roe v. Wade is overturned.
Right now, there are 21 states with trigger laws in place. There are 5 more states whose historical attacks on abortion practically guarantee they will move to ban access once federal protections are eliminated.
In total, 26 states are on the cusp of severely limiting or eliminating abortion access — with the burden falling mostly on Black, brown, and low-income women.
Here’s the situation in 2022: Right now, the Supreme Court is deliberating over a case from the state of Mississippi, in which they’ve explicitly asked the Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Before we voted him out, Trump made sure to pack the Court with conservative justices who would further the GOP’s misogynistic, anti-choice agenda. They may have the power, but our movement has the numbers to fight back and defend our reproductive rights.
Our mission is clear: We refuse to go back to the days when women died from unsafe back-alley abortions because we didn’t have access to reproductive health care.
But to organize and resist these nationwide attacks, we need Women’s Marchers from across the country to join together. Our Reproductive Justice Defense Fund is the cornerstone of our organizing strategy. Without a strong budget, it will be incredibly difficult to launch a rapid response program — in the event that Roe v. Wade gets overturned.
Together,
Women’s March
