One year without the protections of Roe

We can’t accept this new reality as “good enough.” [Katie Porter for Senate]( Today marks one year since the overturning of Roe v. Wade. When I first heard the leaked decision, I was making pasta for a sick kid after a long day. I thought to myself, how can any politician think they are equipped to make the deeply personal decision to become a parent for someone else? My Republican opponent at the time supported the GOP’s abortion bans, so our campaign got straight to work telling voters what was at stake—our first TV ad, countless mailers, and thousands of conversations at door-steps and over the phone focused on protecting the right to an abortion. But I frequently heard from voters about their belief that abortion would always be legal in California. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Republicans have told us that if they control the House, Senate, and White House, they will ban abortion nationwide. This fight isn't over. This fundamental right can and must be codified into federal law. In the Senate, I'd be a fierce advocate for overturning the filibuster to do so. We can’t accept this new reality as “good enough.” I still can’t believe my kids are growing up in a world with fewer rights than I had at their age. I’ll always fight for the right to a safe and legal abortion, to expand access to reproductive healthcare, and stand up to Republicans who think they should control our lives.

We don't accept a dime from corporate PACs or federal lobbyists, so we count on people like you to power Katie's fight for nationwide abortion rights.
