John – It’s been less than a month since this radical Supreme Court threw out Roe v Wade , and there’s been an immediate, devastating impact.
Already 17 states have partially or completely banned abortions , and three more will join them soon.
A 10-year-old rape victim in Ohio was forced to travel to Indiana because the abortion she needed to save her life and protect her from further trauma had already been outlawed in Ohio. And will soon be illegal in Indiana, too.
Pharmacists in Texas are being threatened with a felony conviction if they fill prescriptions for medications used to treat cancer, lupus, and miscarriages – because those same drugs can also be used for safe, self-managed abortions.
Doctors in multiple states are being ordered by hospital administrators and lawyers NOT to treat patients suffering from non-viable, life-threatening ectopic pregnancies because they potentially violate the states’ abortion bans.
This is a public health emergency, but neither Congress nor the White House is responding with the urgency we need. And that inaction is deadly.
The House recently passed two bills to guarantee safe access to abortion, protected under federal law. Every single Republican and one Democrat – Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas – voted against it.
Now both bills head to the Senate where they are sure to join a pile of critical legislation blocked by the filibuster.
Brand New Congress joins grassroots activists across the country to demand the Senate abolish the filibuster and codify Roe NOW. Will you join the call? [[link removed]]

The radical, right-wing supermajority in SCOTUS has stripped away the rights of millions. Congress must abolish the Jim Crow filibuster and protect abortion rights under federal law.
Every day the Senate fails to pass these bills, more people will die and more doctors and healthcare providers will risk prison for saving their patients.
This is a matter of public health. It’s a matter of civil liberties. It’s a matter of economic justice. It’s about our constitutional right to privacy and bodily autonomy.
Inaction is deadly, and will not be tolerated. Join the fight. Demand the Senate abolish the filibuster and codify Roe immediately.
