Hey John,

In 2022, reproductive freedom won BIG on ballot measures in red and blue states across the country—and now Republicans are stooping to new lows, using dirty tricks to rig the outcome of ballot initiatives.

Case in point is Ohio, where a November ballot initiative will give voters a chance to secure abortion rights in the state's constitution.

Since they know they'll lose, Republicans have put up their own ballot initiative that would raise the threshold needed to amend the state constitution from a simple majority to 60%—meaning a small minority could veto the majority's will. They've even gone on record about their scheme. Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose said their initiative to change the threshold is "100% about keeping [abortion access] out of our constitution."

Anti-abortion extremists know that reproductive freedom is a winning issue—so they'll do whatever it takes to change the rules, and then try it again, in state after state. That's why NARAL is pulling out the stops to defeat Republicans' blatantly anti-democratic attempts to undermine the will of reproductive freedom voters. We urgently need your help, John.

Make a gift right now to fight back. Your donation will help mobilize voters against the dirty tricks Republicans are using in Ohio and elsewhere to thwart the will of voters. We need your support to defend reproductive freedom in every corner of our country.

FIGHT BACK. GIVE NOW.

Polls show support for Ohio's November reproductive freedom ballot measure winning by double digits. There's significant support across partisan lines, including a third of Republicans and a stunning 85% of independent women voters.

But anti-abortion Republicans don't want to risk letting the majority win and they've already announced a $5 million ad buy for this week.

If we defeat this anti-democratic plot to undermine the will of voters, our chances of securing abortion rights in the state constitution will go way up. If we are unsuccessful, Republicans will try to replicate this tactic across the country.

John, that's why the stakes are so high and why we need your help so urgently. Please give now to support all of NARAL's work to mobilize reproductive freedom voters and defeat Republican attacks on our fundamental freedoms.

MAKE AN URGENT GIFT NOW.

No matter the state, we can't afford to cede any ground or let extremist Republicans dictate the terms anywhere—or they'll exploit the opportunity and try to rig the game everywhere.

Thank you for your support.
