We are writing with truly appalling breaking news out of Oklahoma.
Today, the Oklahoma Governor signed into law a total abortion ban that makes performing an abortion in the state a felony punishable by fines up to $100,000 and/or 10 years in prison, with no exception for rape or incest.
We need your immediate help to protect reproductive rights – we need to ensure our candidates win against their anti-choice opponents. Please chip in $20 or more right now. → [link removed]
While Governor Kevin Stitt (a man) is obsessed with outlawing abortion in Oklahoma, Governor Gretchen Whitmer (a woman) has filed a lawsuit asking the Michigan Supreme Court to immediately protect abortion rights; working to defend against a trigger law that would criminalize abortion.
Why is it that restricting or even outlawing access to reproductive care seems to be at the top of the priority list for male legislators when there are actual urgent matters that need to be addressed? These abortion bans are dangerous and completely disregard the lived realities of women across the country. This is why we need equal representation in the rooms where decisions that affect women are being made.
There are female legislators across the country who are fighting tirelessly to resist these draconian bills – but there are simply not enough women in office to make a big enough difference. 20 states have still never elected a female governor, and only 3 state legislatures have achieved gender parity. That means 47 of the 50 state legislatures are majority MALE.
We need all the female legislators we can get. We are sick and tired of MALE LEGISLATORS sitting around making decisions that affect the lives of women – without any women present to weigh in.
Her Bold Move is working to help pro-choice female candidates get elected in races across the country. In most cases, our candidates are running against ANTI-CHOICE male opponents.
URGENT: Don’t sit on the sidelines. Please contribute $20 or more to help us ensure our progressive female candidates have what they need to defeat their anti-choice opponents. We must protect reproductive rights once and for all. [link removed]
