I have some difficult news to share with you today, folks: The Supreme Court just officially overturned Roe v. Wade, wiping out 50 years of legal precedent and taking away the nationwide protection of the right to choose.

I’m fuming right now, and I’m sure you are too.

Republicans have been planning for this moment ever since the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Roe almost five decades ago — from passing abortion-ban laws in state legislatures across the nation to ramming right-wing justices onto the bench to do their bidding.

And as we process the Court’s decision today — a decision that will put millions of lives in grave danger — Republicans are celebrating. Now, they’re looking toward reclaiming the Senate majority, and if they do, Mitch McConnell has made it clear that a national abortion ban is on the table.

I’m angry and disappointed — not only with Republicans who have been fighting for this outcome for decades but on behalf of the millions of women whose rights have been taken from them. But folks, I’m not giving up. Abortion access is a fundamental right, and I’ll never stop fighting to protect it.

Right now, I’m focused on protecting and expanding our Senate majority, because one thing’s for sure: we cannot afford to let McConnell continue to roll back our fundamental rights with the gavel in hand. But it’s going to take a lot of work (and resources) to protect and expand our majority this November, so I’m asking:

Will you pitch in $10 right now to support our work to protect and expand our Senate majority this November? Every dollar makes a difference when our fundamental rights are on the line.

This fight isn’t over yet, and I want you to know that I’m not giving up on our work to protect reproductive rights and freedoms.

Recently, I joined my Senate colleagues in asking President Biden to issue an executive order to expand access to safe legal abortions — including increasing access to essential medication and providing resources such as travel vouchers and childcare services for people crossing state lines to access abortion care. And I’ll continue fighting my heart out to ensure women everywhere can get the health care they need.

Thanks for taking the time to read this message and support our fight, if you can. I’ll be in touch with more updates soon.

Onward.
