John,
On Monday night, Politico reported that the Supreme Court will soon overturn Roe v. Wade. The right-wing extremists on the court are preparing to end federal abortion protections any day now.
At the same time, House leadership including Nancy Pelosi and Jim Clyburn, are backing Henry Cuellar, the only anti-abortion Democrat in the House. Cuellar was the only Democrat to vote against abortion protections last year AND he received an award from the March for Life — an extreme right-wing anti-abortion group.
Justice Democrat Jessica Cisneros, who will always fight for abortion protections, is running to defeat Cuellar on May 24. We must ensure that we defeat anti-abortion Democrats, even if Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party are trying to protect Cuellar.
It’s despicable that Henry Cuellar continues his advocacy AGAINST abortion rights. And it’s shameful that Democratic House leadership continues to back Cuellar. There’s no excuse for it.
When the House passed the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would have codified Roe v. Wade into law, Cuellar voted No. Cuellar is a conservative, anti-abortion Democrat that opposes major parts of the Democratic agenda. Why is he getting the support of Pelosi, Clyburn, and Hoyer?
Jessica Cisneros will always fight for abortion care. And she can defeat Cuellar with your help.
In solidarity,
Alexandra Rojas, Executive Director
Justice Democrats
