Ted Cruz is using a global pandemic as cover to BAN abortion! NO!!!

We can’t let this attack on our reproductive rights go unanswered. So we’re asking 25,000 good progressives to sign our petition and say abortion IS healthcare!

Republican Senator Ted Cruz just sent a letter to the Food and Drug Administration demanding the agency ban the abortion pill, Mifeprex.

He says this potentially LIFE-SAVING medication is dangerous, and even deadly!

SPOILER ALERT: HE’S LYING! Medical studies have PROVEN Mifeprex is a safe and effective option to end a pregnancy.

We can’t let this right-wing attack on our reproductive rights go unanswered, so we’re asking 25,000 supporters to sign on and say that they agree: Abortion IS healthcare!

Want to know what’s actually life-threatening? Pregnancy. Compared to other countries in the World Health Organization’s maternal mortality rankings, the US ranks 55th.

And compared to ten similarly wealthy countries, we boast a ranking of… 10th. Last place.

We are the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, but hundreds of women die from pregnancy-related complications every single year.

And now, Cruz and his cronies want to ban life-saving medicine? Not on our watch. Sign on to tell Cruz -- abortion IS healthcare:

Patients shouldn’t have to face unnecessary restrictions to get the abortion care they need.

In the middle of a pandemic, this effort is life-threatening. It’s increasingly difficult to access medicines, as more Americans are out of health insurance than ever before.

For women across America, the abortion pill is an affordable, accessible alternative to surgery. We cannot allow Ted Cruz to take it away.

Thanks for your support,

-- The Progressive List
