John, if there's one thing that's clear from the results of the midterm elections it's this:
Voters resoundingly came out to protect our reproductive freedoms — across the country.
In Michigan, a proposal adding the right to reproductive freedom, including the right to abortion and contraceptives, to the state constitution was passed by a 13-point margin.
In Kansas, voters rejected a proposal that would have said there was no statewide constitutional protection for abortion. And in states including Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Wisconsin, voters rejected anti-abortion extreme gubernatorial and Senate candidates.
Voters have made it clear that we disapprove of far-right GOP attacks on our right to reproductive freedom. And we’re not giving up our fight — we’re escalating it.
Cori has always been on the frontlines of the fight for reproductive freedom. In September of last year, she bravely shared her personal story of being sexually assaulted at 17-years-old, then making the decision to have an abortion.
In June, when far-right extremists occupying the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Cori was at the very same abortion clinic where she received abortion care. That evening, she led a rally in front of a crowd of people ready to fight for reproductive freedom.
In July, Cori introduced a bill to protect medication abortions and the very next day was arrested protesting for our rights outside of the Supreme Court.
Then, in August, we rallied people across Missouri on our #RoeTheVote Reproductive Freedom Tour. We traveled through Rolla, St. Louis City, Columbia, St. Charles, Springfield, Kansas City, Clay County, and West St. Louis County to get out the vote for pro-choice candidates.
Now, Cori is keeping up our fight to codify Roe and ensure people everywhere have access to reproductive health care. But we’re up against a GOP-controlled House next Congress, so we’re counting on everyone’s support.
Please, John, if you’re with Cori in this fight, will you chip in $5 or more now?
In solidarity,
Morgan Lowe
Political Director, Team Cori
