John,

Reproductive rights are under siege like never before in this country.
But, you wouldn’t know that by watching the last two presidential debates
where not a SINGLE question was asked about abortion.

The reality is that abortion rights will be a key issue for voters in the
2020 election, and we can’t afford to let moderators ignore the topic any
longer.

[ [link removed] ]We’re calling on CNN, the New York Times, and debate moderators
Anderson Cooper, Erin Burnett, and Marc Lacey to #AskAboutAbortion during
the next week’s presidential debate. Add your name now![ [link removed] ]Demand
Democratic Debate Moderators #AskAboutAbortion October 15th | 8 p.m. ET.

This next presidential debate will be held in Ohio — a state where
anti-choice lawmakers have made attacking abortion access their personal
business, passing a bill that would outlaw all abortion before many women
even know they are pregnant.^1

It’s right on the heels of the Supreme Court’s decision to take on its
first major abortion case since Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to the
Supreme Court — June Medical Services v. Gee.^2 With Kavanaugh sitting on
the bench, we know that our fundamental freedoms, long protected by Roe v.
Wade, are in grave danger.

When we elect a pro-choice president in 2020, their platform to safeguard
reproductive freedom will shape the future of abortion access in this
country. We need a leader with a bold vision to undo the damage of the
Trump administration and expand our federal protections for abortion.

Many candidates have already released plans to uphold our fundamental
rights and address the crisis of abortion access in this country, and
they’re sharing those plans on the campaign trail. But voters deserve to
hear about those plans from the debate stage.

[ [link removed] ]Demand CNN, the New York Times, and debate moderators Anderson Cooper,
Erin Burnett, and Marc Lacey #AskAboutAbortion on October 15th.

Thank you for all you do for reproductive freedom,

Ilyse Hogue
President, NARAL Pro-Choice America
