For nearly 40 years, federal law has protected pregnant patients from being turned away at hospitals in emergencies.
Now the Supreme Court might deny pregnant people this protection - and we need you to join us in fighting for Court reform to appoint more fair-minded judges.
Today, weโre changing our endorsement criteria to reflect our commitment to the freedom to vote. Going forward, we wonโt endorse any U.S. senator who doesnโt support changing the Senate rules to pass voting rights legislation. Our democracy is on the line.

Wearing a black tuxedo isn't enough. We need men to SPEAK UP and stand beside us to fight to end sexual assault & rape culture.
Kavanaugh just referred to birth control as "abortion-inducing drugs," which is not only an anti-science lie, it's an anti-choice extremist phrase that shows that our right to access both abortion and contraception would be in SERIOUS danger if he is confirmed.

Thereโs NO political or ideological excuse for
@JoeBiden
โs support for the Hyde Amendment, which translates into discrimination against poor women and women of color plain and simple. His position further endangers people already facing enormous hurdles.
This law shames women, will have a chilling effect on conversations between doctors and patients, & does NOTHING to support actual families taking care of loved ones w/ Down syndrome. Instead, it exploits them as part of a larger strategy to systematically make abortion illegal.
They told us women didn't matter. They told us we weren't enough. They told us we should all be homemakersโso we took the House ๐
Congratulations to all the badass, pro-choice congresswomen taking Capitol Hill by storm this morning!

A new rule from Betsy DeVos would require universities to allow accused sexual abusers to cross-examine and re-traumatize their victims. This is absolutely sickening.
"In 1966, Romania outlawed access to abortion and contraception...by 1989, an estimated 10,000 women had died as a result of unsafe procedures...Maternal mortality skyrocketed...Hundreds of thousands of children were turned over to state orphanages."
โReproductive freedom means women are more able to participate equally and fully in our country. I canโt adequately express how frustrating it is to have to assert this in the 21st century.โ

This is not normal, these hearings are not legitimate. Dianne Feinstein gave credibility to the process when the majority of Americans have been clear that they want to choose the next presidentโand the next president should fill the vacancy. The committee needs new leadership.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court of Kansas has just ruled that the stateโs constitution protects the right to abortion! This ruling means that abortion rights are protected across the state of Kansasโeven if Republicans were to successfully roll back Roe.
BREAKING: A federal judge just BLOCKED Mississippi's unconstitutional ban on abortion! If the law had been allowed to go into effect, it would have criminalized abortion before many women & trans or non-binary folks even know they're pregnant.

White supremacy is a threat to public health. We must work to dismantle the structures of oppression that prevent us from ever reaching true reproductive freedom.
"They are making it harder to avoid an unintended pregnancy, making it harder to end an unintended pregnancy, and making it harder to be supported when you become a mother. We must support the right to CHOOSE whether or when to become mothers."

Todayโs the 48th anniversary of the landmark case, Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion across the country. But Roe has always been the floor, not the ceiling for abortion care.
Because legal doesnโt mean accessible.

Michelle Williams giving voice to why reproductive freedom is so crucial: โIโve tried my very best to make a life of my own makingโฆ& I wouldnโt have been able to do this without employing a womenโs right to choose. To choose when to have children & with whom.โ
#goldenglobes2020
1 in 4 women will have an abortion in their lifetime. Kevin Williamson has argued and continues to argueโmost recently today on Morning Joeโthat those women should be executed by hangingโ. Why is this anti-woman extremist still being given a platform to spread dangerous hatred?

Christine Blasey Ford should never have had to come forward, & she is incredibly brave to do so. Her story is yet another proof point that Brett Kavanaugh is unfit to serve & his nomination should be withdrawn immediately.

for your leadership, for your vision, and for your grace under pressure. Youโve inspired generations of future leaders (and Nasty Women).
The Senate must pass the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act. As they consider a rule change to allow passage of this legislation, weโre standing firm in our commitment to democracy. We wonโt endorse any senator who doesnโt support this path forward.
#FreedomToVote
Neera Tandenโs withdrawal is a loss. She would have been a great leader at OMB. After 4 years of Trump tirades, too many senators still won't do what's right. That her nomination didnโt move forward is proof of a double standardโapplied when thereโs a woman of color in power.
โWe witnessed you show up not as a superhero, but as a fully human woman. You showed us that the new heroโthe hind of heroism called for in this momentโis a woman facing the patriarchy with no weapons other than her voice, her body, and the truth."

WOWโNew Zealand just passed legislation to give domestic violence survivors 10 days of paid leave to escape abusive partners and find safety for themselves and their families! This is such an incredible step forward! ๐๐
Trump & Pence are clearly using Margaret Atwood's fiction as a playbook rather than reading for pleasure. Forbidding scientists & researchers from using medically accurate terminology amounts to yet another backdoor tactic to curtail our basic rights & freedoms.

Everyone has their own personal beliefs about abortion. But there's a BIG difference between having your personal beliefs and ๐ถ๐ด๐ช๐ฏ๐จ those beliefs to legislate other people's bodies. The freedom to make your own medical decisions cannot be up for debate in this country.
Brett Kavanaugh lied multiple times under oath in his confirmation hearings. When we see the documents that the GOP worked so hard to conceal from usโboth before & during his hearingsโit's likely to be worse than we knew.
