John, when my wife Aly and I found out that she was pregnant, we couldn't have been more excited. We imagined our baby's life unfolding ahead of us – the person he would grow into, and the loving parents we would be. 

But there were nerves too. We held our breath at every OB-GYN appointment and while we awaited the results of every genetic test hoping Aly’s doctor wouldn’t call us and share the news every expectant parent fears: that there was something wrong with our baby.

Tragically, women in Texas who get that unthinkable news today often are denied the lifesaving abortion care they need because politicians like Ted Cruz have decided they know better than women and their doctors.

Ted Cruz and the GOP's extreme attacks on our fundamental freedoms are reprehensible, and Texans deserve so much better. 

I believe women should have the freedom to make decisions about their own bodies, which is why I proudly voted for the Women's Health Protection Act, which would codify Roe v. Wade into federal law. To protect reproductive freedom in Texas, I need you with me.

Will you join me in this fight by being one of the 25,000 people I need to add their names to my petition showing support for codifying Roe v. Wade into federal law?

It's been almost two years since the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade in a decision Ted Cruz called "a massive victory." I am more committed than ever to fighting to protect every woman's right to make their own health care decisions, but I need your help to show Ted Cruz that this grassroots team believes in standing up for freedom.

I will always fight for Texans' fundamental freedoms – but I can't do it alone. I need to know that this team is standing with me in our fight against anti-choice extremists like Ted Cruz. 

That's why I am personally asking you today: Will you add your name to my petition to show your support for codifying Roe v. Wade into federal law? I'm counting on every single one of my supporters to step up and join me in my fight against this extremism.  →

Thank you,

Colin
