For the first time in U.S. history, the Supreme Court took the unprecedented step of removing a fundamental right that had previously been granted to the citizens of this country. Because of this decision, millions of people will now have a private medical decision criminalized. 

This decision does not “just” restore power to the states for the people of those states to decide whether they want abortion to be criminalized. It sends private medical decisions to states where the majority doesn’t elect their government anymore thanks to gerrymandering. It creates a legally unworkable web of laws that may very well result in our privacy rights being invaded by the state to ensure that an abortion has not taken place. It changes how people have to live their lives.

The government does not belong in the private medical decisions of citizens of this country. The decision to have an abortion is a healthcare decision that is to be made by the person making the decision. 

Congress needs to step up NOW and codify Roe. Sign our petition to let Rep. Scott Fitzgerald and Congress know that their constituents overwhelmingly support everyone’s fundamental right to privacy and access to abortion care in their home state, and that they must ACT NOW.
