The Republican attorney general in Texas is arguing that doctors should not be allowed to perform abortions, even if the procedure is necessary to save the life of a pregnant person.

Dear MoveOn member,

On Thursday, Texas filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration after the federal government released guidance to doctors and hospitals saying that they would be violating federal law if they refused to provide an abortion when the life of the pregnant person is in jeopardy.¹ The Republican attorney general in Texas is arguing that doctors should not be allowed to perform abortions, even if the procedure is necessary to save the life of a pregnant person.²

That is the future that the GOP wants for our country.

Pregnant girls, women, trans, and nonbinary people dying preventable deaths.

Victims of rape and incest being forced to give birth.

And pregnant people across the country scrambling to find the cash, child care, and transportation they'll need to cross borders and travel thousands of miles in order to have control of their own bodies.

We will not let that future come to pass. We will organize, volunteer, spread the word, and vote this November to kick forced-birth extremists out of office and elect leaders who will fight for our constitutional rights and bodily autonomy.

Want to help get the message out? Order one of these beautiful, limited-edition "Bans Off Our Bodies" T-shirts designed by artist Lively Scout today. Proceeds will go directly toward funding MoveOn's midterm election work to elect pro-Roe candidates up and down the ballot.

Andra, the stories that have already begun piling up in just three weeks since the extremist Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade are chilling.

And if Republicans get their way, these stories will be only the beginning.

They will continue to tighten restrictions on abortion, removing all exceptions.

They will pass laws criminalizing anyone who crosses into another state to access health care.

They will ban contraception.

They will do whatever they can to control our bodies and our lives.

We must fight back. That starts now by spreading the word in our communities and preparing to vote like hell in the fall.

Ready to get started? Show your support by ordering a limited-edition "Bans Off Our Bodies" shirt today and wearing it proudly.

Thanks for all you do.

Donald Trump and his allies are methodically enacting a plan to place some of Trump's most ardent supporters in key election offices that oversee vote counting, have the power to certify—or decertify—election results, and declare election winners and losers. We've launched a powerful, multimillion-dollar campaign to stop Trump. But we need your help to power our effort.
