Dear John,
Today, over 24.5 million women can no longer legally access abortion care in their state. And in the coming months, nearly half of states are expected to ban abortion. What’s more, state lawmakers are already considering bounty-hunter laws to target those who travel out of state for abortion care. The Court unleashed chaos and emboldened these extremist politicians and it is terrifying!
We need Congress to take action NOW to restore our access to abortion and protect those who are forced to travel to access abortion care.
Tomorrow, the House is voting on two important pieces of legislation to support abortion access:
- The Women’s Health Protection Act, which would establish a new federal right to abortion.
- The Ensuring Women’s Right to Reproductive Freedom Act, which explicitly protects the right to travel across state lines for abortion care.
Equal access to abortion care—everywhere—is essential to social and economic participation, reproductive autonomy, and the right to determine our own health, futures, and lives. We need our leaders to take swift action to restore our access to abortion NOW. Join me and demand that your elected officials vote YES on the Women’s Health Protection Act and the Ensuring Women’s Right to Reproductive Freedom Act today!
In solidarity,
Sage Carson
