John,
Last night, we learned that the Supreme Court is likely to overturn Roe v. Wade any day now.
|
|
For nearly 50 years, abortion has been federally protected due to Roe's foundational precedent – a right that was hard-won by a grassroots movement of women who stood up against government control of their bodies.
|
|
But because Donald Trump packed the Supreme Court with far-right extremists, approximately 36 million Americans will lose access to safe and legal abortion.
|
|
I know that last night's news is personal for so many of you. I share your pain, your anger, and your sadness – but I want to tell you one thing: There's no way in hell the GOP can ever stop me from fighting for our reproductive freedom.
|
|
As long as I am Governor, every New Mexican will have the right to choose from the full spectrum of reproductive care. I even took an archaic anti-abortion law off the books last year – in preparation for the day that the Supreme Court does decide to overturn Roe v. Wade.
|
|
When abortion is not federally legal, Governors will be the first line of defense in the fight to protect abortion access: If you believe in reproductive freedom, will you donate $5 right now to help me keep New Mexico blue and keep abortion legal?
|
|
Let's keep fighting.
