TONIGHT: For the first time this election cycle, an all-women panel will moderate the Democratic primary debate. On behalf of women and people who can get pregnant everywhere, we're urging debate moderators to #AskAboutAbortion and about candidates' plans to combat attacks on our reproductive freedom. Join us — sign your name!
We spoke up, we spoke out, and our voices were heard, John.
During the last presidential debate, moderators heard our demands, and they asked questions about abortion and the current threats to our reproductive freedom. Many of the Democratic presidential candidates responded to our call as well, sharing their plans to protect abortion access and discussing ways to help ensure that reproductive freedom is a reality for everyone.
None of this would be possible without the strong support and pressure from members like you — and we’re grateful so many of you have spoken out! But our work isn’t over; now that candidates have had the chance to speak about their plans on a national stage, we must make sure abortion remains at the forefront of the 2020 election. Are you in?
If so, add your name now to demand MSNBC, The Washington Post, and debate moderators #AskAboutAbortion on November 20th at 9 p.m. ET.
This is the first debate that will feature an all-woman panel of moderators — and we’re urging them to ask, on the behalf of women and people who can get pregnant around the country, to take the threats to our reproductive freedom seriously. We want more than platitudes — we need concrete answers about how candidates will take action to protect and expand abortion access.
Add your name to demand MSNBC, The Washington Post, and debate moderators #AskAboutAbortion. Candidates must speak out and share their plans for combating blatant assaults on our reproductive freedom.
Wednesday’s debate will be held in Georgia, where an extreme ban on abortion was passed that, if enacted, could throw women in jail for having an abortion or miscarriage.1 This dangerous ban would not only put pregnant people and their doctors at risk of prosecution, but could also put their health and safety in grave danger. Georgia has one of the highest rates of maternal mortality in the nation — a problem that disproportionately affects Black women.2
To show the network airing the debate we’re serious about not backing down, we’ve launched ads targeting MSNBC, The Washington Post, and debate moderators calling on them to continue asking questions about abortion access and the major threat to reproductive freedom in Georgia.
We need your help to keep up the drumbeat. Take action now.
Thank you for all you do for reproductive freedom,
Laura Simmons
