 Team, it’s been an intense 24 hours in the aftermath of the release of the Supreme Court's leaked opinion overruling Roe v. Wade. Yesterday, I met with protesters in Missoula to listen to their concerns and fears about this potential new ruling.  I was encouraged to see so many Montanans raising their voices against this ruling. What we are witnessing is an activist Supreme Court criminalizing a woman's constitutional right of bodily autonomy and privacy. Those supporting this ruling like to claim the mantle of “limited government.” There’s nothing “limited” about destroying individual rights in favor of social control, and that will be this ruling’s outcome. States across the country will punish doctors and women seeking reproductive health. Just minutes after this opinion was released, Ryan Zinke posted on Facebook that he “applauded the court’s draft decision.” It’s never been clearer what’s at stake in this election. This is not about Democrats vs. Republicans -- it’s a fight between personal freedom and the desire to dictate. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: I will always support a woman's right over their body. We know what's best for ourselves and our families. Government mandates should not interfere with personal medical decisions. I’ve spent my career fighting to improve access to health care in rural communities. I'll do everything in my power to defend our right to safe and legal abortion -- including voting to codify Roe v. Wade in Congress. Thank you, Cora
