With Roe v. Wade overturned, a staggering 31 states will either restrict
abortion access or ban it entirely by the end of December. In some states
there will be no exceptions to these bans, even if the mother’s life is in
danger.
And in states like Georgia, Arizona, and Michigan, the future
of abortion rights will be decided this November.
So far, we’ve endorsed and are supporting nearly 400 pro-choice Democratic
scientists and healthcare providers at the state and local level in key
races. Nearly three dozen are pro-choice women with backgrounds in
healthcare and reproductive care, including nurses, pediatricians,
physicians, and pharmacists.

we’re asking if you’ll split a donation of as little as $4 between these
four women in healthcare: Dr. Michelle Au and Dr. Kelly Coffman in
Georgia, Eva Burch in Arizona, and Angela Witwer in Michigan.
[ [link removed] ]ELECT PRO-CHOICE CHAMPIONS »
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Georgia, Gov. Brian Kemp and the GOP-held legislature passed one of the
nation’s most extreme abortion bans into effect. Two pro-choice women
physicians are on the frontlines fighting this ban:
[ Dr ]Dr Michelle Au Dr. Michelle Au (GA HD-50) — Dr. Michelle Au is the only
pro-choice physician in the entire Georgia General Assembly.
She has been a tireless pro-choice champion in a state where Republicans
passed one of the nation’s most extreme abortion bans into law.
Republicans actually tried to draw Michelle out of the assembly entirely
during redistricting as punishment.
This House district was decided by just 1,500 votes in 2020 and is widely
considered one of the most competitive state legislative races in America.
[ Dr ]Dr Kelly Coffman Dr. Kelly Coffman (GA HD-53) - Dr. Kelly Coffman is a
Georgia physician who specializes in reproductive psychiatry, where she
treats and helps pregnant women and mothers with postpartum depression.
There are few people more qualified than Kelly to speak to just how
dangerous the abortion ban signed into law in Georgia is for women.
She was inspired to run for office while pregnant with her third child in
a battleground district with no incumbent that many experts consider will
be one of the most competitive races in all of Georgia. Her commitment to
serve her patients goes beyond the doctor’s office.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Arizona, the GOP-led legislature passed a law criminalizing abortions
after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Even worse, a judge lifted an injunction on a
pre-statehood Arizona law that bans abortion in nearly all circumstances,
including rape and incest.
[ Eva ]Eva Burch Eva Burch (AZ SD-9)– Eva is a former emergency room nurse and
nurse practitioner who is running against a vulnerable GOP Senator who
opposes abortion in a race that could decide control of the entire
chamber.
Republicans only hold a majority in the Arizona State Senate by a single
seat, with the chamber split 16-14. If Eva wins this race, we flip the
ENTIRE State Senate and can make progress restoring access to abortion
care in Arizona.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Michigan, the GOP-held legislature is trying to revive a dormant
abortion law that threatens abortion providers with felony charges from
the 1930s. This comes after Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has veto’d several bills
attempting to restrict abortion access from Republicans who barely hold
majorities in the State House and Senate.
[ Angela ]Angela Witwer Angela Witwer (MI HD-76) - Angela is a current
Representative and former nurse who specialized in providing care to burn
victims who is on the frontlines of this fight. In the House, Angela has
been a consistent vote against abortion restrictions and has fought to
ensure that doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers who provide abortion
care cannot be prosecuted or jailed.
It’s virtually impossible to flip the razor-thin Republican majority in
the State House if we lose Angela, who is defending one of the most
competitive Democratic-held seats in the state.

these races will be decided by a couple hundred votes. So when thousands
of you step up and donate it’s enough to help these incredible women win
their incredibly competitive races.
