Danielle, Last night's news — that an extremist Supreme Court majority has drafted an opinion overruling Roe v. Wade — was devastating. But we are not powerless. We can still fight back. And we must. First, let's be clear: This is only a draft opinion until the Supreme Court releases its final ruling, expected sometime this summer. Roe v. Wade is still the law of the land. If someone has an appointment to get an abortion right now, they can still keep that appointment and legally get an abortion. Second, we've got to support people and organizations on the front lines of this fight. Can you make a $15 donation to support local abortion funds that are still connecting patients to abortion care today? Click here to split a contribution between abortion funds in states with trigger laws that will immediately ban abortion — 100% of your donation will support these grassroots groups. If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will process automatically: | By making sure abortion funds have the reources they need, we can support those who are hit the hardest by abortion bans — low-income people and people of color who don't have the means to travel across state lines. Look: I've lived in an America where abortion was illegal. Wealthy women still got abortions. But the most vulnerable had their freedom constricted the most. Abortion funds help make sure that the right to an abortion is a reality for all. They need our support today, and into the future. Please pitch in $15 if you can today to support abortion funds in states that have trigger laws that will ban abortions if Roe v. Wade is overturned. I'm going to keep fighting in every way I can to defend abortion rights — including ending the filibuster so we can codify Roe into federal law, and expanding the Supreme Court so we can stop them from ripping our rights away. - Elizabeth |
