John—
Earlier this week at the fourth Democratic debate, the moderators finally asked about abortion — a crucial step forward made thanks to nearly 10,000 NARAL members who sent messages to CNN and The New York Times urging them to.
Recent polling confirms that voters want and need to hear about how the next president plans to take action to protect and expand abortion rights and access, because they know that right now, reproductive freedom is under all-out assault.1,2
But with the Supreme Court taking up June Medical Services LLC v. Gee this term, we can’t afford to sit back and wait for 2020 to take action to protect our fundamental freedoms.3
That’s why we’re calling on Congress to hold a vote on the Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA) now.
WHPA provides federal protections for abortion rights and access. That means that even if the anti-choice majority on the Supreme Court guts or overturns the protections of Roe v. Wade when they rule in June Medical Services LLC v. Gee, our right to make our own decisions about abortion, without political interference, will be protected no matter where we live.
2020 is going to be a huge year for us, John. Reproductive freedom is a winning issue — and we’re going to use the energy around it to win in the House, the Senate, and the White House.
But we need to build power to win — and one of the first steps we can take right now is demanding a vote on WHPA. Add your name to call on Congress now →
Thanks for all you do for reproductive freedom,
Stephanie Yost
Senior Legislative Counsel, NARAL Pro-Choice America
