Friend,
By now, you’ve heard the news that Ohioans handily defeated a GOP-led effort to make it harder to protect reproductive freedom.
The measure would have raised the threshold to pass a constitutional amendment from a simple majority to 60 percent. But Ohio voters saw the ballot initiative for what it was -- a power grab designed to make it harder to enshrine reproductive rights in the state’s Constitution.
This is an exciting victory. It proves that last year’s Dobbs decision which overturned five decades of legal precedent, is still motivating millions of Americans to come to the polls to stand up for women’s rights and the freedom to choose.
Here’s the problem: Anti-choice activists are not backing down. Virginia remains the only state in the South without an abortion ban. And Gov. Glenn Youngkin has promised to do everything in his power to change that.
I continue to believe that the only way to protect women’s reproductive freedom is to enshrine the protections of Roe into law. That’s why I’ve introduced the bipartisan Reproductive Freedom for All act, which would protect a woman’s right to abortion and contraception.
It’s also one of the reasons I’m running for re-election to the U.S. Senate -- to continue to fight for women’s freedom to choose. But with nine Republicans running against me and millions of dollars of national GOP cash flooding into the Commonwealth to defeat me, I need your help:
Will you pitch in $25 or more to help me stand up to the GOP’s assault on women’s rights and continue to fight for the freedom to choose?
