John, the worst that we feared has come to pass. Far-right justices have ended the nearly 50-year precedent that secured a woman’s constitutional right to make their own decisions about their health and future: Roe v. Wade.
|
In 20 states across the country, abortion bans have already taken effect or are likely to do so soon. This ruling has turned back the clock nearly half a century, putting millions of women in a nightmare scenario.
|
But unfortunately, this is far from the end. Far-right senators are already voicing support for a nationwide abortion ban. It has never been more important to defend our U.S. Senate majority and protect abortion access – wherever and however we can. That’s why I’m asking: Will you please split a donation today between NARAL and my campaign? Your contribution will go directly toward helping people obtain legal, safe abortions and stopping GOP extremists from taking back the Senate.

In the days to come, you will hear from plenty of loud voices who are celebrating this dangerous and callous decision, reveling in the fact that more than half the country has once again lost its right to bodily autonomy.
|
But make no mistake: They don’t speak for this country. The vast majority of Americans, including myself, support Roe v. Wade and reproductive rights. The ultra-conservative members of the Supreme Court and their allies in the Senate are woefully out of step with the American public.
|
I believe that, at the end of the day, we will win. History and the majority of the American people are on our side. But these victories do not happen without bold, united action. So please, can I count on you to split a donation tonight between NARAL and my campaign? We’ll only win equity and reproductive freedoms if we fight for them. Now is the time to fight.

With gratitude and solidarity,
Tom
