Tell Congress to Keep Abortion Legal!

Dear Dry,

The 42nd anniversary of “Roe v. Wade” is just a few days away. To honor “Roe” we need to *take a stand for women’s health now [ http://org.salsalabs.com/o/1400/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=16989 ]*.

The US House of Representatives plans to vote on a 20-week extremist abortion ban this Thursday, January 22 – the anniversary of “Roe v. Wade”. This extremist bill, one that would ban abortion pre-viability, is a direct attack on “Roe”. A similar ban in Arizona was deemed unconstitutional by a federal appeals court, and the Supreme Court refused to review that decision – letting stand the decision that the 20-week ban is unconstitutional. Congress must stop wasting time and money on unconstitutional measures.

*Sign the petition to tell your representatives in Congress that the majority of Americans support safe, legal abortion. [ http://org.salsalabs.com/o/1400/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=16989 ]*

That the Republican-controlled House would – on the anniversary of “Roe "– push forward an unconstitutional bill to deny women the right to an abortion is an outrage.

*Here are 2 things you can do to celebrate "Roe”:*


* *Email your representatives and senators in Congress! [ https://org.salsalabs.com/o/1400/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=16989 ]** [ http://org.salsalabs.com/o/1400/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=16989 ]* Tell them that you do not support an extreme, unconstitutional 20-week abortion ban. It goes too far.


* *Join us at the Supreme Court!* FMF, NOW, and DC NOW will be at the Supreme Court on Thursday, January 22, to commemorate the 42nd anniversary of" Roe v. Wade" and protest attacks on women’s reproductive rights. We will be rallying outside the Supreme Court (1 First Street NE) from 1 to 3 PM.

Together, we will fight these attacks on women’s health. We won’t go back!

For Women’s Lives,
