John, since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Democrats have been featuring abortion rights messaging in their election ads in Michigan, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and across the country.
If Democrats are going to bring abortion access to the forefront during the midterms, they're going to have to follow through after by codifying abortion access into law and not backing anti-choice politicians running as Democrats.
Time and again, establishment Democrats in Congress have failed to protect abortion rights. They were complacent in the decades before Roe was overturned. And they still refuse to bypass or abolish the filibuster to secure federal abortion protections.
And just a few months ago, corporate Democrats including Nancy Pelosi lined up behind conservative anti-abortion Democrat Henry Cuellar in his primary against pro-choice Justice Democrat Jessica Cisneros. Pelosi donated to and campaigned for Cuellar, even though his extreme views on abortion were part of his Congressional voting record.
John, at Justice Democrats, we’re working to protect abortion rights and elect candidates who aren’t only pro-choice, but will fight to secure abortion access for the people.
We will fight harder than establishment Democrats. We’re not beholden to corporate PACs or billionaire right-wing donors. And we won’t ever back anti-choice candidates.
We’ve invested in trying to elect six new Justice Democrats and re-electing the Squad this year. We had a few big wins, but imagine how much more we could do if we raised even a small percentage of what corporate Democrats raise from corporations and Wall Street. We can do so much more, John, we just need the funds to go bigger.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
