John—

Our constitutional right to abortion has never been in this much danger.

Moments ago, the Supreme Court agreed to take up a crucial abortion access
rights case — June Medical Services, LLC. v. Gee.^1

And with a court dominated by anti-choice justices and beholden to the
deciding vote of Brett Kavanaugh, we just got one big step closer to the
destruction of abortion protections.

By agreeing to take up this case, the Supreme Court has the potential to
uphold the TRAP (Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers) law in
Louisiana that’s being challenged by June Medical, signaling that it’s
open season for attacks against abortion access.^2

vote to pass the Women's Health Protection Act (WHPA) now!

[ [link removed] ]TELL CONGRESS: PASS WHPA NOW

But wait — the TRAP law being challenged in June Medical is identical to a
Texas law struck down by the Supreme Court in 2016 — so why is it back
under consideration?^3

There’s one glaring reason: Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation was an
opportunity anti-choice extremists have spent years clamoring for — the
culmination of a decades-long campaign to infiltrate and elevate
conservative, anti-choice judges at every level of our judiciary.^4

As long as Kavanaugh sits on the Supreme Court, our reproductive freedom
and our rights will be under threat. We need federal protections — and we
need them now.

[ [link removed] ]Raise your voice with us to demand Congress hold a vote on WHPA
immediately.

And it only starts here. We are building a plan right now to organize a
multi-lateral campaign to pass WHPA. We’re in contact with our friends in
the reproductive justice space and other progressive allies to collaborate
on public actions and next steps. We’re not going to sit back to wait and
see if Congress acts — we’re going to make sure that they do.

And we’ll need you with us every step of the way.

[ [link removed] ]Are you with us? Demand Congress hold a vote to pass WHPA →

Forward,

Ilyse Hogue
President, NARAL Pro-Choice America
