Today’s Action: Women’s Health Protection Act? Not with the filibuster in place.
It’s been weeks since the Supreme Court allowed Texas to criminalize abortion, and the American people are still waiting for federal measures to protect abortion seekers. Abortions are still ostensibly protected by the Constitution as decided in Roe v Wade, and yet those who seek or provide the important health care service can still be threatened with retaliation and unjust obstacles.
Even this past week Governor Greg Abbott has said he will not even look at a bill that would provide exceptions for rape and incest in the heartbeat bill. It’s clear that today’s Republican Party is devoid of humanity for women, and we urgently need our leaders to band together and codify the freedoms guaranteed by Roe v Wade.
Call (202-224-3121) or write your Senators to demand an end to the filibuster, and the passage of federal abortion protections immediately through the Women’s Health Protection Act!
The House recently passed a sweeping health bill that addresses the attacks on abortion care by state officials. It would protect national abortion access without medically unnecessary and, frankly, cruel restrictions such as waiting periods, mandatory ultrasounds, and biased counseling. It would confirm the right to abortion for healthcare providers, requiring them to provide that care.
But none of that can pass with the filibuster in place. We need everyone calling and writing their Senators, demanding an end to the archaic filibuster and a resumption of their legislative obligations.
Call (202-224-3121) or write your Senators and tell them to end the filibuster and pass the WHPA, before the Supreme Court and state governments further gut a woman’s right to choose!
