As a state senator here in Michigan where a local law from 1931 could result in abortion being banned statewide, I know firsthand that state legislatures are on the front lines of abortion access, and we â you, me, and this grassroots team â are the last lines of defense.

[Mallory McMorrow](
[Friends â By the end of the year, as many as 26 states will have either banned abortion outright (in some states, making no exceptions for rape or incest) or gutted access to the point itâs impossible to obtain.]( As a state senator here in Michigan â where only thanks to a temporary court order blocking a 1931 state law from taking effect, abortion would be banned statewide â I know firsthand that state legislatures are the front lines in the new war for abortion access. That means we â you, me, and this grassroots team â are the last lines of defense. Here and in many states, the outcome of the election this November will determine whether abortion is outlawed for tens of millions of women. Republican-controlled state legislatures are responsible for keeping old laws on the books, âtrigger lawsâ that resulted in abortion becoming illegal after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, and numerous other laws designed to gut our rights and freedoms. But Democratic state legislatures can reverse these bans and restrictions, expand access to care, and reign in extreme GOP Governors like Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbott, and Brian Kemp. [Itâs never been more important to support pro-choice Democrats at the state legislative level. Thatâs why Iâm asking you to give a $10 donation or whatever you can afford to 314 Action to elect pro-choice Democratic scientists at the state level all across the country who will pass legislation to protect and codify abortion access.]( [ELECT PRO-CHOICE DEMOCRATS »](
[314 Action is supporting more than 100 pro-choice women running for state and local office in 2022 who have a background in STEM.]( And of those, nearly three dozen are pro-choice women with backgrounds in healthcare like nurses, physicians, and pharmacists who know better than ANYONE the medical consequences of these draconian abortion bans. Take a state like Arizona which has a Republican trifecta (aka a GOP Governor and Republicans hold majorities in both chambers). If pro-choice Democrats flip just two seats in each the state house and state senate, we flip control of BOTH chambers! Or look at Michigan, where I serve. We can overturn the draconian abortion ban that is on the books and deliver Gov. Gretchen Whitmer a pro-choice, Democratic majority in the state house and senate by flipping just 7 seats out of 148 that will be on the ballot this November. And state legislative campaigns are significantly cheaper than campaigns for Congress or Governor â meaning your money goes substantially farther when you donate to elect pro-choice Democrats at the state level. [Iâm asking you to take a vital stand in electing pro-choice state Democrats. Please, donate at least $10 to elect state Democrats who will restore, protect, and expand reproductive rights across the country.]( If youâve stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be processed immediately.

[Click here to unsubscribe from 314 Action's Email List]( 314 Action is a grassroots community of over 6 million people working to elect Democratic scientists at all levels of government who will use science and facts to address some of our most pressing issues from climate change and gun violence to health care and protecting the environment. To date, we've flipped five U.S. Senate seats from red to blue, including drafting both Mark Kelly and John Hickenlooper to run, helped Democrats flip the House in 2018 by electing eight Democrats in red to blue districts, and secured more than six dozen state legislative victories -- All with an average donation of $18. The best way we can build on the progress we've achieved and empower President Joe Biden's science-first agenda is to defend our razor-thin majorities in the House and Senate, which is why we're targeting 68 Senate, House, Gubernatorial and statewide races ahead of 2022. We're creating political consequences for the Republicans who disavow science, deny the reality of climate change, and spread conspiracy theories as a result.
