Â
Allies,
I wanted to make sure you saw this. The U.S. Senate is voting on the
Women's Health Protection Act (WHPA) today.
When enacted, WHPA will ensure abortion is accessible to everyone,
everywhere, free from the medically unnecessary restrictions that
anti-abortion lawmakers rely on to push this essential care out of
reach.
The right to abortion is already meaningless in the state of Texas and
the U.S. Supreme Court is considering a case that could gut the right
to abortion nationwide. It's more important than ever that WHPA
be enacted to make sure that this essential health care is accessible
in every state. This is the moment we've been working toward for
years.
Please don't wait. Contact your senators right now and tell them to
ACT FOR ABORTION ACCESS!

Allies,
In 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives took a historic vote and
passed the Women's Health Protection Act (WHPA), marking the first
time in history that the House has ever passed stand-alone legislation
specifically designed to protect the right to abortion access
nationwide.
Last week, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Schumer took the first
procedural step to getting a vote on WHPA. This vital legislation will
be brought to a vote on February 28 and it's time to act to ensure it
becomes a reality.
Since September 1, 2021, the right to abortion has been meaningless in
the state of Texas, and the U.S. Supreme Court is currently
considering a case that could gut the right to abortion nationwide.
The Senate must vote to protect abortion rights and access in every
state.
The people hurt most by both the Texas abortion ban and all abortion
restrictions are those who already face barriers to accessing health
care-particularly Black, Indigenous and People of Color, women,
and those working to make ends meet. In an equitable and just society,
all health care, including abortion, is accessible for
everyone-not just those in certain states or those with the
means to travel.
Defend reproductive rights for all.

We need a federal law that protects access to abortion care for ALL.
We need WHPA. Tell your senator to act for abortion access today by
asking them to pass WHPA!
