Friend,
The GOP is waging an all-out attack on reproductive rights, and
Monday night, a leaked opinion indicated that the conservatives on the
Supreme Court intend to completely overturn the precedent set in Roe
v. Wade.
Let me say in no uncertain terms that this is the wrong
decision: It will deny essential healthcare to millions of Americans,
particularly in communities of color, low-income communities, and
other communities that face existing barriers to care, and it will
cost countless lives.
So while this is only
a draft, we need to be prepared. The House has already passed the Women’s Health
Protection Act, which will guarantee the right to a safe, legal
abortion at the federal level. I will continue to fight to see this
important legislation addressed in the US Senate. We must fight back
against the radical right wing and their unacceptable attacks on our
rights and stand with our community leaders and organizers who are
working to ensure everyone can receive the care they need.
This isn't the end,
and I'm ready to keep fighting. I hope you are too.
Thanks, Ted
