Dear John,
The Supreme Court has ruled that reproductive health care is no longer
federally protected and will now be decided by the individual states.
In Texas, Greg Abbott has already signed a “trigger law” that criminalizes
all abortion — with no exception for rape or incest — and can now go into
effect following yesterday’s decision.
That means that in a matter of weeks, no woman will have control over her
body in Texas, a state that already struggles to ensure proper medical
care for women and girls and which leads much of the developed world in
the rate of maternal mortality. More women face this unprecedented attack
on their freedom and their health in Texas than in any other state in
America.
So it’s on us to respond and to act. That means standing
up to Abbott and fighting for Texas women by winning this election for
governor.
Imagine the impact that will have not only in Texas, but across the
country.
The state that came up with this “trigger law,” the state that has been
leading the attack on a woman’s right to choose for over a decade, and the
state that promised bounty hunters $10,000 to turn in those who helped
women get an abortion can be the state that elects a governor who will
work to ensure that every woman makes her own decisions about her own body
and her own future.
Let’s use these next days — between yesterday’s decision and the
implementation of Abbott’s total abortion ban — to assemble the volunteers
and raise the resources we need to win political power. Do not succumb to
the temptation to despair or give up in the face of this attack. Turn your
anger into action and focus on what will do the greatest good.
The only way to overcome this attack on women and reproductive freedom is
to win this election.
The only way to win this election is with your help.

that will give the people of Texas some hope: they’ll see that we have

for ALL of us.
