John—
Officials in a least 11 states — including Alabama, Alaska, Indiana, Iowa,
Kentucky, Ohio, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia
— are trying to ban abortion by using the COVID-19 pandemic as a
smokescreen.
If the last few weeks have shown us anything, it's that anti-choice
politicians will stop at nothing to ban abortion and exploit this crisis
to achieve their ultimate goal: controlling our bodies and restricting our
freedoms.
[ [link removed] ]With this dangerous wave of attacks on abortion during the COVID-19
pandemic, we need to fight like hell against these attempts to use
disinformation to ban abortion. But we need your support NOW to do it. If
you can, chip in $15 to protect reproductive freedom for
every body, everywhere.
Judges in Oklahoma and Ohio have stepped in to block orders from those
states — for now.^1 But we can’t rely on the courts to protect our rights
— not when the Trump administration and Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell have stacked the judiciary with two anti-choice Supreme Court
justices and dozens of anti-choice federal appellate and district court
judges at a breakneck speed.^2
You can bet that anti-choice politicians across the country won’t stop
pushing for these bans. It's not just about one state, or one elected
official: This is a national crisis for reproductive freedom.
77% of Americans support the legal right to abortion. The idea of using a
public health crisis for political gain or to push an extreme ideological
agenda is reckless and repugnant.
We need to act fast to stop these attempts to exploit the COVID-19
pandemic to ban abortion.
[ [link removed] ]Every single person who believes in the right to make personal
decisions about pregnancy free from political interference needs to step
up now. I'm counting on you, John. Please, make your emergency gift of
$15 to NARAL Pro-Choice America to help stop the bans »
I'm glad to know you’re a part of the community of more than 2.5 million
members who are with us in this moment. We are truly all in this together
— and now, we need you like never before.
Sincerely,
