John,
We’re all still reeling from Monday’s leak of the SCOTUS decision overturning Roe v. Wade. The nightmare we all hoped would never come to pass is about to become reality, and people are (rightly!) outraged.
But what some folks may have missed in the initial uproar over abortion rights is just how sweeping the changes brought about by this decision would be – Alito’s opinion goes way beyond throwing the abortion debate back to the states; it strikes the entire concept of a constitutional “Right to Privacy” from federal law!
Here’s a lengthy-but-in-no-way-comprehensive list of currently protected civil rights that could be criminalized overnight if SCOTUS succeeds in eliminating our constitutional right to privacy and personal autonomy:
*
Abortion
*
Contraception
for
married
couples
*
Contraception
for
single
people
*
Discontinuation
of
life-prolonging
medical
treatments
by
terminally
ill
patients
*
Same-sex
physical
intimacy
*
Oral
sex
*
Interracial
marriage
*
Same-sex
marriage
*
In-vitro
fertilization
and
other
assisted
reproductive
technologies
*
Procreation
and
parenting
rights
for
marginalized
people
(including
the
right
not
to
be
sterilized
without
consent)
*
Adult
consumption
of
“explicit”
media
… and more.
And here is a list of long-banned civil rights abuses that could be on their way back , for the exact same reason:
*
Forced
sterilizations
*
Forced
drug
testing
during
childbirth
*
Forced
recitation
of
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance,
regardless
of
religious/ethical
beliefs
*
Ideological
“purity”
tests
and
loyalty
oaths
for
public
employees,
including
school
teachers
*
Mandatory
Bible
and
devotional
readings
and
prayer
in
public
schools
*
Firing
public
school
teachers
for
“public
homosexual
activity
or
conduct,”
including
advocating
for
LGBTQ+
rights
… and more.
We cannot allow this to happen!
Look, the GQP have made no bones about their ultimate goals here – during Ketanji Brown Jackson’s hearings, Republican senators were open about their desire to overturn SCOTUS rulings allowing abortion, contraception, gay marriage, and even interracial marriage.
And that’s just what they admitted to in public – the above list comes much closer to representing what they’re plotting behind closed doors.
We can’t allow the Republicans to drag us back to the “bad ol’ days” of the 20th (and even 19 th ) century!
It’s obvious that with the Supreme Court compromised by Trump-appointed far-right authoritarians, we’re going to have to do something drastic to stop their crazy train before it derails our entire country.
That means codifying Roe , expanding the Court, and possibly even applying term limits to judicial appointees … and we’re going to need a bigger Senate majority to do any of it.
That’s why No Dem Left Behind has set the ambitious goal of raising $1 million in the month of May to flip more Senate seats BLUE in 2022.
This will be the most aggressive undertaking No Dem Left Behind has ever taken on in our young history, but our constitutional rights are worth it.
If everyone who reads this message chips in just $10 to the No Dem Left Behind Senate Fund, we’ll hit our goal … but we know not everyone will, so if you can afford more, we hope you’ll chip in as much as you can. [[link removed]]

But this can’t be a one-time rage contribution – we need you on our team for the long haul. This won’t be a single battle; it’s going to be a full-on war against the Radical Right.
So please consider making a monthly commitment [[link removed]] to support No Dem Left Behind to make sure Democrats can win on every front.

Now is the time to make a choice, while we still can – will we let them turn America into Gilead?

We know what we’re planning to do … and we really hope you’ll join us.
