No, your email inbox isn't broken. We're forwarding you a nearly month-old email because it still rings true. Here's why:
Undaunted by the call from Pennsylvanians to turn their focus toward anything other than attacks on reproductive rights, legislators in the State House and State Senate introduced and rapidly passed another extreme bill to ban abortion after a fetal diagnosis of Down syndrome.
The good news is that Governor Wolf acted quickly to veto this bill this past Thursday, and that's why I'm reaching out one more time on this. I want to show him — and everyone in the Legislature trying to pull this off — that momentum is on the side of reproductive freedom.
Thanks,
John

Subject: Reproductive rights are under attack (again)
Reproductive rights are once again under attack in the Legislature, John.
Senate Bill 912 and House Bill 1977 would ban abortions in cases where a physician can detect a fetal heartbeat. A heartbeat can typically be detected between six and seven weeks of pregnancy, which makes these bills an abortion ban — and that's precisely the point.
Governor Tom Wolf has made it clear he will veto this legislation — let's show everyone our movement is with him.
There's no room for politics in reproductive health decisions made between a patient and their doctor. Add your name if you agree.
There are many issues the legislators sponsoring and supporting these bills could take up — and find consensus on! — instead of parroting these extreme bills that are doomed to fail.
When I decided to run for Lieutenant Governor, I pledged to be a progressive backstop for Governor Wolf, who would fight back against reckless and extreme legislation. And that's exactly what I intend to do here.
Thank you for standing with us,
John
