The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last month. And an 1849 law criminalizing all abortion -- unless the life of the pregnant person is at risk -- could go into effect in Wisconsin.

I don’t think that a law that was written before the Civil War, or before women secured the right to vote, should be used to dictate these intimate decisions on reproductive health care. That’s why, here in Wisconsin, we’re suing to challenge this archaic abortion ban.

Meanwhile, my Republican opponents are already running a scorched-earth campaign to divide our state. We don’t have to imagine what they’ll do if they’re in office because they’ve already told us: vowing to enforce the state's abortion ban and fire any prosecutor or sheriff who refuses to enforce it. We can’t let that happen, which is why I’m reaching out today.

Add your name to receive updates from my campaign and show you’re ready to defeat ultra-MAGA Republicans, help elect Democrats, and defend abortion rights.

Two days before the Supreme Court’s decision, I called a special session of the Wisconsin Legislature, asking the GOP-controlled chambers to repeal the 1849 law. And guess what? The Assembly and Senate didn’t even take a combined 40 seconds before they gaveled out.

Ultra-MAGA Republicans are working to ensure our kids and grandkids grow up in a world where they have fewer rights than previous generations did growing up -- and that’s just wrong. Democrats will never stop fighting for our fundamental freedoms, and we need this entire grassroots team by our side. I hope you’ll join me.

Thank you for everything,

Tony
