Dear Friend,
The Supreme Court has voted to fully overturn Roe v. Wade and end the
constitutional right to abortion, according to a leaked copy of the
opinion.(1)
The leaked decision is not final and will not have the force of law until
it is officially announced by the Court, but that will likely happen
within the next 4-6 weeks. Then, as many as 26 states are set to ban
abortion, many with no exceptions for rape or incest.(2) And anti-abortion
groups are already preparing to pass a nationwide abortion ban, should
Republicans win control of the House and Senate.
We must fight on every front to restore this basic right and help the tens
of millions living in states facing a future without legal abortion.

abortion? Your donation will be split 50/50 between Courage California and
ACCESS REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE.
California will have a special role in helping meet the massive surge in
need for abortion care from those living in states where abortion will be
banned. In addition, we will partner with allies nationwide to minimize
the damage of this horrific decision and fight back with nationwide
legislation restoring the right to abortion in all 50 states.
We'd hoped this moment would never come, but it's here now, and we must
fight.
