John,
This past weekend, hundreds of thousands of Americans joined together to stand for the right of a woman to access a safe and legal abortion.
Polls have shown for years that a large majority of Americans believe Roe v. Wade should not be overturned. Americans do not agree that GOP-controlled legislatures should have the power to ban a woman from obtaining an abortion and criminalize those who seek one.
In spite of that, the United States Senate killed the Women’s Health Protection Act last week. This bill would have created a federal law protecting the right to an abortion, but every single Republican—and so-called Democratic Senator Joe Manchin—voted against it.
Without a pro-choice majority in the Senate, reproductive healthcare decisions will be subject to the whims of extremist Republicans in state legislatures across the country.
