John, we have good news and bad news.
We’ll start with the bad: This is already the worst year for attacks on reproductive rights since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973.
There is an unprecedented number of extreme laws, like S.B. 8 in Texas, that have drastically suppressed access to abortion care. On top of that, the Supreme Court has declined to overturn these laws and hinted that they will overturn Roe v. Wade in an upcoming case.
But here’s what gives us hope: This Monday the Senate will vote on the Women’s Health Protection Act — this bill would protect access to abortion even if the Supreme Court overrules Roe v. Wade.
There’s no time to waste: Will you chip in $5 or anything you can to our Reproductive Justice Fund so we can raise the funds we need to pressure Congress and build the organizing power necessary to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act tomorrow?
We don’t want to come off as alarmists, John, but we are currently witnessing the biggest threats women and people of reproductive age have faced in decades on our freedom to access safe, legal abortion.
Especially now that we have an ultra-conservative majority on the Supreme Court, there is a legitimate chance that Roe v. Wade will be overturned.
To make matters even worse, a record number of states have already filed legislation in preparation to immediately ban access to abortion care. State legislators have already introduced over 315 pieces of legislation to restrict or wholly ban abortion if Roe v. Wade is challenged.
We need the Senate to act quickly to protect our reproductive rights. Passing the Women’s Health Protection Act has never been so urgent and it’s our best bet to make sure the rights we’ve enshrined by Roe v. Wade are preserved.
In solidarity,
Women’s March
