John,
Right now, in at least half of the states, abortion rights are under attack. And as more abortion bans are passed, right-wing extremists are radicalizing their political agenda even further. They’re looking to outlaw the abortion pill, jail doctors, and even propose the death penalty for abortion:
We know that abortion access can already be a matter of life and death, but this is beyond the pale. Our work to elect a new generation into Congress to fight for our fundamental freedoms has never been more urgent.
The anti-abortion movement is moving full-speed ahead, which means we need to fight twice as hard to protect our reproductive rights. Help us transform the Democratic Party into one that will fight nonstop to protect our communities and defend our autonomy. Will you chip in $3 or any amount you can?
This week, an openly anti-abortion GOP judge heard a case brought by an ultra-conservative Christian group to ban mifepristone, the most widely used FDA-approved abortion pill.
For decades, this extremist movement fighting to take away our reproductive rights labeled themselves "pro-life." But when push comes to shove, their true colors show: all they want is to control our bodies — they’re even willing to put our lives at stake.
Right now, Republican-held state legislatures, Governors, General Attorneys, and more are exploring every avenue they can to criminalize abortion. It’s critical that leadership in Congress steps in to pass life-saving interventions and protect our freedoms at the federal level. That’s why we have to keep fighting to support our Justice Democrats in Congress — and elect more next November.
In solidarity,
Team JD
