I went to the Supreme Court tonight — just moments after news broke that the conservative majority will reportedly overturn Roe v. Wade. Let’s be clear about this: Roe wasn’t the beginning of women getting abortions. It was the end of women dying from unsafe abortions. I’m frustrated that we have had nearly 50 years to write reproductive freedom into federal law. Now, Democrats control the House, the Senate, and the White House — and they still can’t get this done. Tonight’s news could be Democrats’ last warning before the Supreme Court strips millions of Americans of their constitutional right to abortion. It’s time for them to stop treating abortion rights as an afterthought, end the filibuster, and codify Roe. If they don’t, more women will die. That’s exactly why I went to the Supreme Court tonight — because Wisconsin has a U.S. Senator who specifically asked the Court to overturn Roe, and if the latest report is true, they’re about to. When I’m in the U.S. Senate, I will never back down in the fight for reproductive freedom. You have my word. In the fight, Sarah Godlewski
