Dear team,

Last week, the constitutional right to abortion in the United States
was stripped away in an unprecedented ruling by the U.S. Supreme
Court. It is more important than ever to hold our lawmakers and
representatives accountable, including the President of the United
States, to protecting access to abortion.

I wanted to make sure you saw my thoughts in an op-ed for The
Washington Post, where I call on President Biden to declare a public
health emergency for abortion.

Thank you for being with us.

Op-Ed: Biden must declare a public health emergency for abortion
- immediately

The Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health
Organization is not only the most damaging setback to the rights of
women in our country's history - it also creates a staggering
public health emergency requiring swift and definitive action from all
sectors, including the Biden administration.

In his remarks following Friday's ruling, President Biden said, "I
will do all in my power to protect a woman's right in states where
they will face the consequences of today's decision."

It is in the Biden administration's power to address this crisis
immediately by declaring a public health emergency for abortion.

Such a declaration would give the Department of Health and Human
Services power to help patients get vital abortion care wherever they
live. Under the declaration, HHS can enable out-of-state prescribing
and dispensing of medication abortion for those in states
with abortion bans.

We need a national standard guaranteeing abortion access, which Biden
rightly said Congress must legislate. But in the meantime, the
administration must take the first step toward restoring national
protections: Declare a public health emergency now and ensure that
medication abortion is available across the nation.
