Hi John -- do you know the story of Gerri
Santoro?

Gerri was raised in Coventry, CT. In 1964, she died in a
hotel room in Norwich, CT after receiving an illegal abortion.
She was only 28 years old.

After her death, a graphic photo taken of her body
galvanized thousands to fight for reproductive justice, and Gerri
became a symbol of the pro-choice movement.

47 years ago today, that movement culminated in the Supreme
Court's Roe v. Wade decision which guaranteed every woman the
right to safely terminate a pregnancy.

John, that right is now under attack -- this
month, more than 200 Republican members of Congress called on the
Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, and soon the most
anti-choice court in modern history will hear an abortion rights
case.

TAKE ACTION: Honor the memory of Connecticut women like
Gerri Santoro who died for our right to choose by signing your

Connecticut is one of only 13 states in the country that
guarantees the right to an abortion by state law. Even if Roe v.
Wade is overturned, that right will persist.

We must fight to ensure that every American woman has that
same right. Celebrate the 47th anniversary of Roe v. Wade by
signing your name in support of reproductive freedom.
