I wish I could say I was surprised, but I'm not. The Supreme Court officially overturned Roe v. Wade, and with it went any national protections securing our right to abortion.
I'm angry. Really angry.
And seeing anti-choice Republicans like Mike Garcia and his Republican allies openly celebrate this attack on our bodily autonomy?
I will not let this news or this anger hold me back. I’m ready to fight back harder than ever, and I need you to join me. Let’s turn this anger into action and work even harder to protect our right to choose.
Make no mistake, this ruling will not stop abortions from happening, it will stop safe abortions from happening. John, if there was ever a time to fight with every fiber of our being to protect our right to choose, that time is NOW.
I know this news is infuriating. And if you're in Texas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, or any of the nine other states with trigger laws to ban abortions on the books, it's utterly terrifying.
Do not be fooled, self-proclaimed moderate Mike Garcia has fought against reproductive rights in the past – going so far as to co-sponsor extremist legislation that bans all abortion and some contraception. And he will gladly do it again if he is re-elected.
I promise you this: I will never stop fighting so long as child-bearing people are at risk of becoming second-class citizens. I will never stop fighting for the right of every single person to choose if, when, and how they become a parent.
The Supreme Court may have a lot of power, but you know what? So do we. And we're not going to stand silently by and let five extremist justices determine our fate or our future.
This is just the beginning, so gear up, and get ready for this fight. I know I am.
