Right now, we find ourselves at the pivotal moment we’ve feared for years: The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade.
In Michigan, we’re already seeing the devastating consequences of this decision: An archaic 1931 law still on the books that makes providing an abortion a felony is currently being examined by state courts and could soon go into effect.
But it’s not just Michigan. Republican state legislators across the country are throwing their support behind barbaric laws like these, advocating for the policing of pregnant peoples’ bodies and the criminalization of lifesaving reproductive care under the guise of being “pro-life” – it’s despicable.
Without the vital protections provided by Roe, abortion access will be decided by the makeup of state legislatures, so we can’t risk state Republicans making any gains this November. State Republicans will use their power to pass restrictive abortion laws and push an extremist agenda through state legislatures – electing state Democrats is the only way to stop them.
I’m asking you to take one critical step today to pave the path forward: Can you chip in a 5x-matched donation of $7, $25, or whatever you can budget right now to support state Democrats and defeat anti-abortion state Republicans this November?

The significance of this decision cannot be overstated. This regressive, dangerous, and unconstitutional decision will be felt deeply across the nation – particularly in the 26 states already banning or expected to soon ban abortion.
State Republicans will use this decision as a rallying cry to try and prove that their hateful rhetoric and extremist agenda are justified – but it’s up to us to prove them wrong.
I’ve seen the transformative power of grassroots voters in state-level races – and I know that if committed Democrats like you are willing to take ownership of this fight and invest in our grassroots movement today, we can defeat state Republicans in this year’s midterm elections, together.
This November, we have an opportunity to build our Democratic power and defend our majorities in states like Michigan to help expand abortion rights post-Roe – but we need you with us to make this a reality.
Will you rush a $7 ($35 impact!) gift right now to stand up to state Republicans’ extremist agenda and help elect Democrats to state legislatures across the country this November?
Together,
Mallory McMorrow
Michigan State Senator
