Here’s why Tina’s outraged

  Friend, Tina’s outraged by the GOP’s outrageous attempts to roll back reproductive rights, and she’s a firm believer that we need to codify Roe v. Wade into law — once and for all. As the only Senator who’s worked at Planned Parenthood, Tina fully understands the importance of safe …

We can’t get discouraged

  Friend, The Republican attack on abortion rights in Texas is an attack on the health and wellbeing of every Texas woman. It’s time for Congress to get serious about reproductive freedom, and stop letting Mitch McConnell and the Supreme Court be the sole arbiters of federal abortion …

The Women’s Health Protection Act

  Friend, I am outraged by the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold a Texas law banning abortions after six weeks. Like the millions of Americans who overwhelmingly support a woman’s right to an abortion by a 3-to-1 margin, I am horrified by this law’s deputization of private citizens t…

Expand the Supreme Court

  Folks, For the last 40 years, right-wing Republicans and the Federalist Society have tried to rig a Supreme Court ruling against Roe v. Wade with a river of dark money pouring into our elections. It’s been the white whale Republicans have pursued with hundreds of extreme judicial no…

The latest attack on abortion rights

  Friend, It’s unconscionable that the Supreme Court upheld a Texas ban on abortions after six weeks. Most women don’t even know they’re pregnant within the six-week window. Further, this new law allows anyone in the state, including private individuals without any connection to the m…
