Team,

The Supreme Court just overturned the constitutional right to abortion. 

We saw this decision coming after the draft majority opinion leaked last month, but that doesn’t make it any easier to stomach. Because of the ruling, states will now be able to make abortion illegal. 

I know a lot of people are wondering what we can do. One important task is to continue our work to put more pro-choice leaders into office. 

Here in Virginia, I am working hard to support the campaigns of candidates who will protect abortion access in the Commonwealth. My campaign is also supporting candidates nationwide who support the Women’s Health Protection Act. 

This federal bill would codify into federal law the right to an abortion, and would nullify the Supreme Court’s attack on women’s reproductive rights. But the only way it will pass is if we expand our majorities in both the House and the Senate. 

We do not have time for despair. We must stand stronger than ever before in defense of reproductive rights. Will you add your name now if you are still with us in this fight?

I promised when the draft opinion leaked that I would do everything in my power to protect access to abortion. And that is what I plan to do. 

Today’s decision does not change my fundamental belief that everyone deserves the right to make their own reproductive health decisions, and that those decisions should be made without interference from politicians. 

Thank you, and I will be sure to keep you updated on this fight,

Mark
