No choice but to fight

Senate Democrats had a responsibility to the American people to abolish the filibuster and protect abortion rights when Democrats had the House majority. [Adam Schiff for Congress]( Folks, today was supposed to be a celebration of women’s reproductive freedom. One 50 years in the making. Instead, Republicans executed their decades-long plan to overturn Roe v. Wade last year, with the help of a right-wing Supreme Court stacked with Trump nominees. Senate Democrats had a responsibility to the American people to abolish the filibuster and protect abortion rights when Democrats had the House majority. Two of them refused (and this week at Davos, you might have even seen them high-fiving about it). The filibuster remains intact. Legislation to codify Roe v. Wade and expand the Supreme Court has stalled. Kevin McCarthy and the Republicans are passing extreme anti-choice legislation in the House.

Wade in 1973 — in a decisive 7-2 majority opinion — it ended restrictions on basic reproductive health care and permitted women to obtain abortions legally. Now, the Republican Party has engineered a right-wing judiciary and Supreme Court after decades of careful planning, and last year one of their state bans in Mississippi — argued in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization — accomplished what anti-choice extremists had so long hoped. The reversal of Roe and more than a dozen trigger bans in conservative states across the country. Your ability to safely access reproductive health care or obtain an abortion shouldn’t depend on which state you live in. We need Congress to take action.
