John: my opponent, Sen. Chuck Grassley, just helped block a bill to codify Roe v. Wade into law. With the U.S. Supreme Court indicating it will overturn abortion rights, tens of millions of Americans could see their reproductive freedom disappear without action from Congress.
Sen. Grassley is on the cusp of seeing his life's work realized: to control the bodily autonomy of women. As a 33-year-old woman who stood on the floor of the Iowa House three dang times to defend my fundamental rights, I will NOT stand for it.
The GOP's actions today are infuriating and incredibly dangerous – but this is just the start. Republican senators are already strategizing to pass a nationwide six-week ban on abortion. If Mitch McConnell is in charge of the Senate, Republicans will finally have their chance to pass a radical abortion ban that affects every. single. state. We MUST fight back. That means defeating GOP extremists like Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), expanding our Senate majority and codifying Roe v. Wade into law for future generations.
If we win here in Iowa, Democrats will be virtually guaranteed to maintain our Senate majority – and I promise you that I will be the 50th vote we need to end the filibuster and pass this legislation. So please, will you rush $5 right now to defeat Sen. Grassley and protect our reproductive rights?

Today, I'm deeply worried about our country's future. This is a nightmare for millions of Americans. For those in states where abortion bans are in effect or could go into effect, I want you to know I'm with you. I hear your anger and your fear. Like you, I am furious – and I'm more determined than ever to defeat Sen. Grassley, get to the U.S. Senate and abolish that dang filibuster.
John, I know that this vote was hard to watch – but if we give up, if we tune out, if we sit on the sidelines, the GOP will win. We must fight back, expand our Senate majority, end the filibuster and finally pass this legislation.
Winning this fight starts with expanding our Senate majority. So please, will you rush $5 right now to help me defeat Sen. Chuck Grassley? In times like these, we've got to band together and fight with everything we have. I'm not giving up, but I can't win without strong grassroots support from people like you. Please, donate whatever you can now.

Together, I know that we can win and build a brighter future for all of us.
With gratitude,
Abby
