For nearly 50 years, we have talked about what Roe v. Wade protects. Today, as of right now -- as of this minute -- we can only talk about what Roe v. Wade protected. Past tense.
Millions of women in America went to bed last night without access to the reproductive health care they had Friday morning -- without access to the same reproductive health care that their mothers and grandmothers had for nearly 50 years.
The Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization says abortion is not deeply rooted in our nation's history. In holding that, yesterday's decision calls into question other rights that we thought were settled: the right to use birth control, the right to same-sex marriage, and more.
The great aspiration of our nation has been to expand freedom. But the expansion of freedom is not inevitable. It is not something that just happens -- not unless we defend our most fundamental principles. And not unless we elect leaders who stand up for those principles.
The strength of our nation has always been that we move forward. We must now come together to show what kind of country we want to live in and reject the notion that our rights are up for debate.
So please, make a $25 donation to the DNC today to support the organizing, voter protection, and other critical programs that will help elect Democrats nationwide who will fight to defend our rights.
