Dear Lucas,
The War on Women is alive and well.
It's been 41 years since the historic Roe vs. Wade ruling confirmed that a woman has the right to make her own choices about her reproductive health.
Yet right now – because of new laws pushed by extremists – women in at least 10 states are losing access to the few remaining clinics that provide safe reproductive care.
Women across the country are fighting for their lives.
I've been on the frontlines fighting to protect and expand our rights, but I need your help. We need to immediately let Congress know we're not going to allow a handful of extremists to roll back the clock and deny women the right to make decisions about their own healthcare.
A woman's health should be in the hands of her and her doctor – not Republicans in Congress. I need you to speak up if you agree.
At stake is no less than the health and wellbeing of our mothers, sisters and daughters.
Republicans have prioritized attacks on women's health over jobs, immigration and protecting our environment. If we don't speak out now, they won't stop until they've overturned Roe v. Wade and returned women to the "Mad Men"-era.
We need to speak up loud and clear before it's too late – a woman has the right to make decisions about her health.
Thanks for standing with me – and with women across America.
–Carolyn [Maloney]
