Dear John,
We know that many of our supporters are still reeling from last week's leaked Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade. While the official decision is still to come, it is clear that we cannot depend on the Supreme Court to protect our rights.
Soon, the North Carolina General Assembly will become our last line of defense against anti-choice forces intent on dismantling access to abortion and reproductive health care. Justice Alito wrote in his draft opinion that decisions affecting abortion would return to elected representatives, making it all the more apparent that women, who are profoundly affected by laws and regulations that impact abortion and reproductive freedom, must be at the table where these decisions will be made.
If the legislature passes an abortion ban, North Carolinians who need an abortion would have to leave the state to get one. In order to protect our access to abortion, we must elect pro-choice, progressive women to the NC General Assembly and protect Gov. Cooper's veto power. Lillian's List works year-round to recruit, train, and support women candidates at both the state and local level. Will you donate today to fund our programs to recruit and train pro-choice women running for office in NC?
