Hi, John, it's Deb. That's my daughter Abby and me you're looking at – she's running to defeat Sen. Chuck Grassley (R) here in Iowa. I've had a lot on my mind this week – with Roe v. Wade all but guaranteed to be overturned after nearly 50 years. 

You see, my mother came of age in a time where the right to choose was illegal and incredibly dangerous. Her generation and those before her organized, rallied and fought tooth and nail for the reproductive freedoms – guaranteed by Roe's precedent – that I grew up with.

I never dreamed that my own daughter would be forced back into a time where abortion rights cease to exist. But it doesn't have to be this way.

We still have a path to protecting the right to choose – and it starts with sending my daughter to the Senate. By electing Abby, we'll not only elect the youngest female senator and defeat an anti-choice extremist, Chuck Grassley, we'll have another vote to end the filibuster so we can codify Roe v. Wade into law for future generations.

So please, will you join Abby's team by making a donation of $5 tonight? I know that my daughter has what it takes to win this fight – she just needs you to stand with her.

With gratitude,

Deb (Abby's mom)
