MESSAGE FROM ERICA SMITH ABOUT ABORTION RIGHTS:

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Abortion is healthcare and healthcare is a human right.

But right now, from Republican-led state legislatures to the U.S. Supreme Court, our right to safe, legal abortion care is hanging in the balance.

It’s absolutely critical for Congress to enact federal protections for reproductive healthcare and prevent immoral attacks on our constitutional right to safe, legal abortion care like we’ve seen in Texas and Mississippi.

I’m the ONLY pro-choice Democrat running for this competitive, wide-open U.S. House seat in North Carolina’s 2nd District -- and I *promise* I will proudly cast a YES vote to protect abortion access if elected.

Reproductive freedom is sacred, and our fight to protect it is deeply personal to me.

I had my youngest son at 22 weeks. He was premature as a result of preeclampsia and pregnancy-induced hypertension. At 16 weeks, my doctors told me that if I continued my pregnancy I would be risking my own death. And before his delivery, I had to decide on the priority of life.

Despite my infinite love for my children and family, I made the decision for doctors to save my baby if they could not save us both. It was a decision only I could make — no one else.

Now, I’m running for Congress to defend our right to make decisions over our own bodies.

Roe is on the ballot this year, and we can’t afford to send anti-choice representatives to Congress.

RSVP here to meet Erica Smith on Zoom at our PCCC Meet the Candidates event TOMORROW, Thursday, February 10, at 7pm Eastern / 4pm Pacific.

If you can’t make it but want to support her campaign for Congress, chip in to Erica’s campaign here.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
