"I am furious. If it's true that the Supreme Court plans to overturn #RoeVWade, this is a five alarm fire.
It's exactly the kind of dangerous outcome I have been warning about, & I'm speaking on the Senate steps to ring the alarm bells yet again.
In a matter of days or weeks, the horrifying reality is that we could live in a country:
without Roe
where women are forced to remain pregnant no matter their circumstances (including rape or incest)
where extreme politicians will control patients' private decisions
Let's be clear--abortion bans won't actually end abortions. They'll just make them unsafe & hurt the women with the least resources & tightest budgets.
I remember life pre-Roe. I knew people who didn't have somewhere to turn for a safe abortion. It has stayed with me to this day.
Every single person--in every single state--needs to realize this impacts you, your choices, and your rights.
I am not done fighting on this issue--far from it. We need to send @POTUS a bill that will protect every woman's right to an abortion. Too much is at risk."
