John, last summer with the Dobbs v. Jackson decision, we
witnessed a Republican ideology take over as the law of the land. This
campaign to restrict (and ultimately end) abortion has been more than 50
years in the making. Now, with the latest report on the leaked memo
detailing the decision to overturn Roe, the GOP and the Supreme Court have
focused in on who leaked the drafted decision, rather than the substance
of it. 

[ [link removed] ]leakHouse Republicans, meanwhile, have already begun the next phase of
the assault on women and bodily autonomy. Steve Scalise, acting as the
House majority leader, has stated that legislative priorities include
codifying the Hyde Amendment (1976), as well as drawing attention to
"attacks" on anti-abortion centers. 

All of this focus is, yet again, a distraction from the real issues. The
old fear-mongering of "tax-payer funded abortions" is still in use by the
Republican majority. Even though that same amendment, the Hyde Amendment,
prevents federal funding from Medicaid to be used for abortion services
except in extremely rare cases. 

The more pressing issue is that restrictive reproductive healthcare
policies kill women. Since the Supreme Court's ruling, we have been
inundated with evidence that these laws are not precise enough in their
language and lead doctors hesitant to provide life-saving care. Some laws
are going so far as to consider life beginning at conception, leaving
fertility clinics at a similar crossroads for fear of being charged for
murder.

up to who it affects the most: the patients. Can you chip in to our cause
today and help elect lawmakers who believe in the freedom of choice?

John, we know that these issues are not just black and white,
and we know you do as well. Thank you for supporting us and for standing
for the right to choose.
