John,

Since 1973, the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade has protected reproductive rights.

Today, that ruling was reversed — and now we must reckon with a world without Roe.

I know this is a frightening moment for millions as they watch their freedoms rolled back.

But let me be clear: these deeply personal decisions should be left to an individual and their doctor. Not conservative Supreme Court justices. Not politicians trying to rile up their base.

Alongside many of my fellow Democrats, I support the Women’s Health Protection Act because it is past time for federal protections for reproductive rights. But we need more pro-choice allies in the Senate to pass it.

Today’s decision is one reason why the November election is so crucial. We have two choices: elect pro-choice Democrats who will write abortion protections into law — or hand the reins to Mitch McConnell’s GOP, who are already floating the idea of a national abortion ban.

We must not despair. We must not give up.

John, donate $5 now to help me support pro-choice Democrats running for the U.S. Senate.

My best,

Dick Durbin
