For nearly 50 years, Americans relied on the rights that Roe v. Wade protected -- the fundamental constitutional right of a woman to make decisions about her own body.
This month, however, on what would have been its 50th anniversary, we speak of the Roe decision in the past tense.
The Supreme Court's action to take away that constitutional right has meant that many dedicated doctors and nurses now lose their ability to care for their patients, that providers risk going to jail just for doing their job, and that patients are denied critical care and even fear that they will be punished simply for seeking care.
We are fighting back. President Biden has directed our cabinet to identify barriers to accessing prescription medication and to recommend actions to make sure that doctors can legally prescribe, pharmacies can dispense, and women can secure safe and effective medication. Still, many states have gone even further and now have total bans in effect. That is why I am asking you for support.
