Hi, it's Tim Kaine.
Today marks two years since Donald Trump’s hand-picked Supreme Court majority overturned Roe v. Wade.
In the years since, the American people have elected pro-choice candidates in races across the country. More than six-in-ten (63%) say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, according to Pew Research. Statewide ballot measures supporting abortion rights passed in Ohio, California, Kentucky, Michigan, and Vermont, and extreme anti-choice measures were defeated in Kansas and Montana.
Despite that, right-wing state legislatures have successfully passed extreme abortion bans or restrictions in the absence of Roe in 21 states — including every state in the South besides Virginia.
Here’s the bottom line: The American people have spoken loud and clear — and they support reproductive freedom. That’s why I was one of the first Senators to introduce bipartisan legislation codifying the protections of Roe into law back in 2022.
The Reproductive Freedom for All Act would protect a woman’s right to abortion and contraception, undoing the damage of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe.
On this solemn anniversary, I hope you’ll stand with me by voicing your support for the Reproductive Freedom for All Act by adding your name to my petition here. It only takes a few seconds.
