Today’s Action: End the filibuster and pass the Women’s Health Protection Act!
Thousands of abortion activists across the country marched in support of reproductive rights this weekend in over 600 US cities. The support for protections against laws like the draconian "heartbeat" bill in Texas is overwhelming, and we have to keep building on the momentum of this past weekend to fight harder than ever for fundamental freedoms in women’s health.
The House recently passed a sweeping health bill that addresses the attacks on abortion care by GOP state officials. It would protect abortion access at the federal level without medically unnecessary and, frankly, cruel restrictions, such as waiting periods, mandatory ultrasounds, and biased counseling. Titled the Women’s Health Protection Act, it would confirm the right to abortion by healthcare providers, requiring them to provide that care.
But none of that can pass with the filibuster in place.
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!
Reproductive rights across the nation are under relentless attack, despite the fact that abortions are still ostensibly protected by the Constitution as decided in Roe v Wade. This past week, Gov. Greg Abbott has said he will not even look at a bill that would provide exceptions for rape and incest in Texas. 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.
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 to demand an end to the filibuster and the passage of the Women’s Health Protection Act!
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition to repeal the horrific Texas abortion ban now, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
