Friend, I am proud to be pro-choice.

In 2023, that shouldn't be a controversial statement. I was only 6 years old when Roe v. Wade was first decided. I grew up, entered adulthood, fell in love, married and had two beautiful boys in a world where women's reproductive rights were always protected — where I had the choice to live whatever kind of life I wanted.

But today, a minority of right-wing extremists have taken that right to choose — the right to determine our own future — away from millions of Americans. And this is only the tip of the iceberg. Banning interstate travel to receive reproductive health care, making abortions a felony, attacking the right to birth control — every day, some extremist Republican legislator is finding a new way to control our bodies and limit our reproductive rights.

This is the biggest fight of our generation, friend. We must fight tooth and nail until the right to choose is restored in all 50 states across our country. That's why, today, I'm asking you to stand with me in this fight for the future of our country and speak up in support of reproductive rights: Please will you add your name today?

We can't doom the next generation to a country where Americans do not have the right to choose their own futures, where patients and doctors alike are prosecuted as felons, where women have to risk their own health because of cruel laws drafted by out-of-touch extremists.

Thankfully, we're not alone in this fight. A majority of Americans support both legal abortion and legislation to restore reproductive rights nationwide. We see it in poll after poll — and we witnessed it firsthand during the 2022 midterms. Abortion was on the ballot last year, and Americans across the country, from Kansas to Michigan, rejected this extremist, dangerous agenda. And I believe that we will do it again in 2024, and again and again until every American once again has the right to choose.

But this starts with making sure that our voices are louder than the minority of extremists. And to do that, we can't be quiet or shaky about our support for reproductive rights. We have to proclaim it proudly and fight for it. That's why I'm asking 20,000 members of my team to join me before my midnight deadline tonight. Please, will you sign on now?

Despite the difficult challenges and setbacks we've faced this past year, I remain resolute and hopeful that we will emerge from this fight victorious. Thanks for standing with me today. 

With love and hope,

Kirsten
