Dear Team,
On Tuesday, across the United States we saw an unmistakable repudiation of the Supreme Court's devastating decision to overturn Roe v. Wade .
While the outcome in many races is not yet known, it's clear that when people are given the chance to vote directly on the issue of abortion, they overwhelmingly want that right protected.
Most Americans want to protect abortion access. [[link removed]]
Voters in California, Michigan, and Vermont approved ballot initiatives to protect abortion rights in their state constitutions. In Kentucky and Montana, voters rejected an anti-abortion constitutional amendment.
These seismic wins show us that when people vote directly on abortion in a non-partisan ballot initiative, abortion rights win.
But that's not enough. We must have federal legislation protecting abortion access, and until that happens, the Center for Reproductive Rights will continue to work to ensure that state constitutions protect the right to abortion—and there's much to be done.
* We will keep pushing for the Women's Health Protection Act in this congress and every congress until it passes.
* We will work with local groups to block bans and other extreme laws we know will be proposed when state legislatures reconvene.
* We will keep filing lawsuits to block bans, like we've done in North Dakota [[link removed]] and Arizona [[link removed]].
This election was a critical moment for U.S. voters to make their voices heard, and they responded with a clear rejection of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe .
