petition demanding that Supreme Court justices protect abortion rights for
all!

Dear MoveOn member,

The leaked Supreme Court majority draft decision to overturn Roe v. Wade
shows that right-wing Supreme Court justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas
(whose wife played an active role in the January 6 insurrection), Neil
Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett misled Senators under oath
in their confirmation hearings when asked whether they would overturn Roe
v. Wade.^1 It's horrifying.

But John, the Supreme Court's abortion decision isn't final. We
have to protect abortion rights for all, and there's still time for us to
come together and act. 

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition to tell the Supreme Court: The world is watching.
Don't overturn Roe v. Wade!

I'm Heidi Miller, the Development Manager with The Yellowhammer Fund in
Alabama, which helps Southerners access abortion care. As extreme bills
continue making their way through state legislatures, it's vital that we
send a clear message to Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. and the other
members of the Supreme Court of the United States that we will not
tolerate these attacks on our protected human rights. Alabama's
Republican-controlled legislature passed an extreme anti-abortion bill in
2019 that gives the state control over pregnant people's bodies and
increases the already tremendous barriers that people seeking abortion
care in Alabama face in accessing their procedures. Access was already a
problem in Alabama, which is why the Yellowhammer Fund exists.^2

The government's control and politicization of our bodies is unacceptable.
Families in Alabama, Florida, and Ohio and communities across the nation
are under attack as part of a publicly stated, coordinated effort to have
the Supreme Court overturn its own legal precedent set by Roe v. Wade.

petition now!

An attack against Roe is government intervention against our most basic
human rights, and it won't stop there. Some members of the Supreme Court
are already signaling a willingness to overturn legal precedent on other
cases including marriage equality for the LGBTQ+ community.^3

Tell Chief Justice John G. Roberts and the Supreme Court justices to
uphold Roe and end extreme policies which deny families the right to
determine whether, when, and how to create a family.

People espousing "pro-life" politics frequently talk about how much they
love pregnant people and babies. However, their political agenda does not
extend to ensuring that pregnancy and birth are safe for pregnant people
or that parents, children, and families can access the health care they
need to live healthy lives. In Alabama, for example, this means that a
large number of pregnant people are going without the prenatal, birth, and
postnatal care needed to ensure healthy pregnancies and birth outcomes.
Maternal and infant mortality rates are high.^4

It's unacceptable, and that's why it is so important that Supreme Court
justices protect abortion rights for all.

Want to support our work? Right-wing groups are spending tens of millions
of dollars on TV ads to smear critical progressive legislation. Meanwhile,
donations to progressive groups like MoveOn are plummeting now that a
Democrat is in the White House, meaning we don’t have the resources to
fight back. That's a huge problem, and that's why we urgently need your
support.

Will you chip in to fight right-wing lies and pass urgent legislation to
confront the multiple crises our country faces?
