As one of the one in four women in this country who have chosen to have an
abortion, I am outraged and disgusted by the reported draft SCOTUS opinion
overturning Roe v. Wade.

The purpose of our Supreme Court is to uphold freedom and respect
precedent — not to take away the fundamental freedom for pregnant people
to make choices about their own bodies and futures.

Right now, the Senate can pass an exception to the filibuster and codify
Roe v. Wade. NOW is the moment to act, not next month or after the
midterms. [ [link removed] ]Will you add your name to our grassroots petition calling on
the Senate to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act without delay?

Let’s not forget that Roe v. Wade was a 7-2 decision. The SCOTUS majority
who voted to overturn it has no respect for precedent. No respect for
pregnant people. No respect for voting rights. No respect for our
democratic institutions.

The decision to have an abortion is an intensely personal choice about
control of our own bodies. And the consequences of that choice are ones
that only WE will have to live with — SCOTUS and Republican state
legislatures have no business restricting our choices about our bodies.

[ [link removed] ]The Senate can protect abortion rights right now, but only if it ends
the filibuster and passes the Women’s Health Protection Act. We can’t wait
any longer. If you agree, add your name to our petition today.

I will continue to fight tooth and nail for every single person’s right to
have a legal and safe abortion in this country. We will not accept this
sitting down, and we WILL take this to the streets and the voting booth.

People are right to be scared by this news, but please remember: this is
still a draft opinion, not a ruling. Roe v. Wade is still the law of the
land, and abortion is legal here in Washington State. Take care of
yourselves and each other.

In solidarity,

Pramila
