Last month marked a year since the Supreme Court officially overturned Roe
v. Wade. Since then, more than two dozen states have enacted draconian
abortion bans and/or heavily restricted abortion access (in many states
there are NO exceptions).

And in
states like Georgia, Arizona, Iowa, and Ohio, the state legislatures are
the ones making decisions to dismantle abortion rights, protections for
LGBTQ+ families, and attacking public education.

As former President Barack Obama put it: It’s NEVER been more important to
support Democrats running at the state and local levels.

It’s why last year we supported 400+ pro-choice Democratic scientists and
healthcare providers at the state and local level in 47 states. Nearly
three dozen were pro-choice women with backgrounds in healthcare and
reproductive care, including nurses, pediatricians, physicians, and
pharmacists. And now, with so much still on the line, we’re preparing to
do it again and support even more!

[ [link removed] ]But we won’t be able to do that without you: Which is why we’re asking
if you’ll donate to help us elect pro-choice women in healthcare in states
with abortion bans like Dr. Michelle Au in Georgia, Eva Burch in Arizona,
Dr. Megan Srinivas in Iowa, and Rachel Baker in Ohio:

[ [link removed] ]ELECT PRO-CHOICE CHAMPIONS »

In Georgia, Gov. Brian Kemp and the GOP-held legislature passed one of the
nation’s most extreme abortion bans into effect.

[ Dr. ]Dr. Michelle AuDr. Michelle Au (GA HD-50) — Dr. Michelle Au is the only
pro-choice physician in the entire Georgia General Assembly.

She has been a tireless pro-choice champion in a state where Republicans
passed one of the nation’s most extreme abortion bans into law.
Republicans tried to draw Michelle out of the assembly entirely during
redistricting as punishment and are already making her a top target in
2024.

This House district was decided by just 1,500 votes in 2020 and is widely
considered one of the most competitive state legislative races in America.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Arizona, the GOP-led legislature passed a law criminalizing abortions
after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Even worse, a judge lifted an injunction on a
pre-statehood Arizona law that bans abortion in nearly all circumstances,
including rape and incest.

[ Eva ]Eva BurchEva Burch (AZ SD-9) – Eva is a former emergency room nurse and
nurse practitioner who won against a vulnerable GOP Senator who opposed
abortion in the toughest State Senate race in the state last November. In
office, she serves in the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services
and is a champion when it comes to making healthcare and reproductive care
more accessible.

Republicans only hold a majority in the Arizona State Senate by a single
seat, with the chamber split 15-14. Eva is the most vulnerable Democrat in
the State Senate so if we want to flip this Chamber (which we can!) we
have to defend her this upcoming year.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Iowa, the state legislature recently passed a six-week abortion ban
after the governor called a special session to seek a vote on the ban.

[ Dr. ]Dr. Megan SrinivasMegan Srinivas (IA HD-30) Dr. Megan Srinivas is an
infectious disease physician running on a platform of expanding healthcare
and reproductive access, demanding government accountability, and
protecting workers' rights.

Republicans hold a majority in the Iowa House of Representatives and it’s
never been more important to have pro-choice leaders like Megan on the
frontlines to fight back as the chamber continues to grow more extreme.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Ohio, a six week abortion ban similar to the one in Georgia currently
on hold by the state’s Supreme Court. Governor Mike DeWine is encouraging
the House’s Republican supermajority to revisit the ban to avoid the
passage of a ballot measure to protect abortion.

[ Rachel ]Rachel BakerRachel Baker (OH HD-27) Rachel currently works as the Nurse
Researcher for the largest healthcare system in Cincinnati and has a
proven track record advocating for patients. In office, Rachel serves on
the Health Provider Services and Public Health Policy committees and has
been an outspoken critic of anti-abortion legislation.

Republicans currently hold a super majority in the Ohio House of
Representatives. And Rachel is fighting tooth and nail as a Freshman
member against the increasingly extreme Ohio GOP to stand up for what’s
right.

[ [link removed] ]One donation might not seem like it will make a difference, but many of
these races will be decided by a couple hundred votes. So when thousands
of you step up and donate it gives us the resources to support a historic
wave of pro-choice women in healthcare who will be on the frontlines of so
many of the tough fights that affect our families.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation
will be immediately processed.
