Roe v. Wade is personal to me

The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is chilling. [Mandela Barnes for Wisconsin] Hi there, {NAME}, it's Congresswoman Gwen Moore. I’m old enough to remember life before Roe v. Wade. I hustled up money and used the women’s health fund to travel to New York to get an abortion. For me, a poor Black woman, that was the only way I could receive abortion care. I never want young women to experience what I or others went through. The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is chilling. And it is now up to Congress to act to protect abortion rights. My friend Mandela Barnes is running in one of the most important Senate races in the country. And if we can get him elected, he will be the deciding vote in the Senate to end the filibuster and pass legislation to codify Roe v. Wade into law. That's why I am asking you today: [Can you please split a $3 contribution between Mandela Barnes' campaign and my campaign today? Mandela is prepared to fight for abortion rights and end the filibuster in the Senate, and he urgently needs your support to win this race.]( If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will automatically be evenly split between Mandela Barnes and Gwen Moore: [Express Donate: $3]( [Express Donate: $25]( [Express Donate: $50]( [Express Donate: $100]( [Express Donate: $250]( [Or donate another amount]( I've been around long enough to have seen people’s health ruined with self-abortions. I've known people who have died from self-abortions. And I've seen people die because they needed an abortion, because they had a bad heart, but they gave birth anyway. People need to understand that it won't stop with eliminating a woman's right to choose. This Supreme Court decision will impinge on every other unenumerated right. It could put on the chopping block the right for same-sex couples to marry, the right to access birth control, and so much more. Ahead of November, we ought to put a target on every single Senate seat that is up for re-election. Because it is the Senate that is holding up the important bill that we passed in the House — the Women's Health Protection Act. Here's some of what that bill would accomplish: - Establish a statutory right for health care professionals to provide abortion care - Establish the right for patients to receive care, free from medically unnecessary restrictions that single out abortion care - Allow abortion after fetal viability if the patient's health is at risk If we can elect Mandela Barnes to the Senate and defend the Democratic majority, we can pass this important legislation and protect abortion rights for women across the country. That's why I'm asking you one more time: [Can you please split a $3 contribution to Mandela Barnes' campaign for U.S. Senate and my campaign for U.S. House today?]( Thank you for reading, and thank you for all you've done to support Mandela in this campaign.
