John,

The Supreme Court just let a deeply unethical law in Kentucky take effect that punishes women for seeking an abortion. The law requires doctors to describe an ultrasound in detail and show fetal images before they can perform an abortion – even if the patient declines.

This law is not only unconstitutional, but solely designed to coerce a woman out of her reproductive freedom. This law is an extreme political interference in the doctor-patient relationship and is part of a broader attack on reproductive justice nationwide. We won’t allow it.

That’s why Women’s March and Planned Parenthood Action Fund have teamed up for the Women’s March on Washington on January 18th. We’re rising up at the Supreme Court to make it clear that we are NOT going back.

With Donald Trump in the White House and Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, a woman's fundamental right to choose has never been more threatened. Many states are rushing through aggressive anti-abortion laws because they believe Kavanaugh is with them – and they very well could be right.

Alabama passed a law in May banning abortions at every stage of pregnancy even in the case of rape or incest – and criminalizing doctors if they perform the procedure with up to 99 years in prison. Meanwhile, Georgia passed a new law outlawing abortion after 6 weeks, during which time many people aren’t even aware of their pregnancy.

Our only defense against these laws is a massive movement of women and allies rising up. We must show the Supreme Court and every state legislature and governor the resistance they can expect if they try to take away our rights.

We’re not just marching on January 18th - we’re putting our bodies on the line, and we need you there. RSVP to take action on January 18th in D.C. or wherever you live.

We're in this together,

Tabitha St. Bernard-Jacobs
