For the immediate future, mifepristone remains available in states where the right to choose remains legal. But this entire episode is a reminder of the unequal state of reproductive healthcare across this country since Roe v. Wade was overturned — and it won't be the last time that extremist Republicans try to chip away at abortion access everywhere. So we need to keep the effort alive in Congress to officially codify abortion rights. And I can't do it without folks like you making your voices heard.

Wade →]( [ADD YOUR NAME]( --------------------------------------------------------------- On Friday, a Trump-appointed judge in Texas ruled against the FDA's approval of mifepristone. Mifepristone is a commonly-used abortion drug that people have used for over two decades — and if this judge gets his way, it will be inaccessible even in states where abortion remains legal. Extremist Republicans aren't stopping after they overturned Roe v. Wade. They won't rest until they have full control over people's reproductive health. They talk openly about passing a 15-week abortion ban in the U.S. Senate. Some have proposed bills that would criminalize inter-state travel for those seeking abortion care. And as last week's ruling demonstrates, the far right is continuing to weaponize the court system to roll back reproductive freedom wherever it can. Make no mistake: anti-choice Republicans' endgame involves a nationwide abortion ban and restrictions on contraception. We have to reverse this terrifying trend. And that starts with keeping the movement alive in Congress to restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land. House Republicans might still refuse to bring it to a vote, but we can at least show that the American people are demanding action — and that voters will remember in 2024 which party has stood in the way of protecting reproductive rights.
