"Today, Republicans dragged this country backwards by half a century.

Republicans ripped away our rights and made this generation the first generation of American women with fewer rights than their mothers.

Republicans are forcing women to stay pregnant and give birth when they don't want to--no matter the circumstances. They are even passing laws to jail women who get abortions and the doctors who provide them.

Right here in the Senate, it was Republicans who stacked our Supreme Court with anti-abortion justices, who blocked Democrats' efforts to protect abortion rights, and who right now are pushing for a federal abortion ban.

Everyone needs to understand this is a real crisis that'll hurt millions of people across the country--Republicans want a federal abortion ban & #RoeVWade is no longer settled law. We aren't going to stand idly by while they rip away abortion rights or go after birth control next.

We are going to stand up and fight back with our voices and our votes--to protect the right of every woman to make her own health care decisions. The American people will not forget Republicans' cruelty--not today, not tomorrow, and not this November."
