Friend – last night, devastating news broke: 

The Supreme Court appears to be poised to strike down Roe v. Wade, according to a leaked draft opinion. For the first time in nearly 50 years, millions of women could lose their constitutional right to a safe, legal abortion.

All across our country, Republican politicians are leading a dangerous crusade against reproductive rights. And if Roe is overturned, an extreme anti-abortion law in Georgia is very likely to take effect soon after.

I'm a pro-choice pastor, and I'll always fight to protect the right to choose. That will never change. But at moments as urgent as this one, I need folks like you to speak out with me.

Time is running out before the Supreme Court issues its final opinion. I’ve pushed for a new federal law that would guarantee access to reproductive health care for everyone – regardless of what the Supreme Court rules in this case – but we all need to make it clear where we stand. 

That's why I'm counting on 25,000 folks to sign my petition in support of protecting reproductive rights. But I'm still missing your name.

Please, friend: If you're in this fight to protect Roe v. Wade and defend reproductive rights nationwide, will you sign on before our rapid-response deadline at midnight?

I believe in the right to choose because these aren’t political decisions. They are personal ones that women should make with their doctors, not the government. Thank you for raising your voice today.
