This illegitimate overturning of Roe must not stand!
Into the streets to demand:
The Federal government must restore legal abortion nationwide!
Since June 24 when the Supreme Court overturned our right to abortion, the news has been grim: women suffering miscarriages denied urgently needed medical care because doctors and hospitals fear criminal prosecution; people of childbearing age denied prescriptions because the drug "may" abort a fetus they aren't even carrying; underage survivors of rape forced to cross state lines for an abortion. Women are being treated like incubators, even a nonviable fetus is valued above their lives.
And we are only seeing a very small fraction of the lives shattered and dreams destroyed as state after state legislature controlled by Republifascists outdo each other to pass more draconian bans prohibiting abortion, even in the case of rape or incest.
This illegitimate overturning of Roe must not stand!
Into the streets to demand:
The Federal government must restore legal abortion nationwide!

A "blue wave" in November is not enough!

The Democratic Party's "bipartisanship" has gone from collaboration with those stealing our rights to outright capitulation. Even after the leaked draft of Alito's opinion revealed that the Supreme Court was going to overturn Roe, they did nothing to sound the alarm, to mobilize federal resources, and certainly not call people into the streets. No, Biden asked a few agencies to "consider" what they could do, only weeks after the Dobbs decision, and only after tens of thousands took to the streets to demand action.
Now is the time to step up that action, to raise our voices even more loudly, to not allow this horror to become "the new normal."
Putting our hopes and efforts into electing more Democrats has been part of what got us into this disastrous situation. Year after year, decade after decade, promises to enshrine the right to abortion in federal law were broken. Only fierce, determined struggle in the face of threats and setbacks has ever won true progress, from civil rights and abortion, to the right to vote itself. Now is our time. If not us, who? If not now, when?
