Hi Voornaam,
On Monday night, the news that weâve all been dreading broke: a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion shows the Court intends to end reproductive freedom in the United States this June. Itâs devastating and unconscionable, and the impact will be horrific.
We will fight back by electing more Pro-Choice Democrats, like Sen. Ron Wyden, our Democratic candidates for Congress, and the whole Democratic team. Then we will write reproductive freedom into the law, so the Supreme Court canât touch it!

Almost 50 years ago, the Supreme Court in an overwhelming majority found that the Right to Privacy applied to a womanâs right to make reproductive health decisions. As Democrats, we fervently concur with this landmark decision, and our core beliefs hold that women have the sole jurisdiction over their own bodies.
But the Supreme Court, for the first time in American history, is poised to rip that fundamental right away from American women.
This obscene overreach of judicial activism will allow even the most abusive state laws to stand. These laws take many forms: from barring physicians from properly consulting with their patients, to restricting contraception access, to even stripping from women their right to end a rape-induced pregnancy.
Please donate to the Democratic Party of Oregon to elect pro-choice Oregon Democrats and also support our pro-choice allies who provide reproductive health services to women in Oregon and in the Northwest.
As shocking as immediate abortion bans in many states will be, the foreboding cloud of what may come is more ominous. Texas law darkly incentivizes vigilanties to âreportâ on women who seek abortions and those who support them. Oklahoma law declares life at fertilization, thus banning not only all abortions, but many varieties of contraception. A number of state laws do not even allow for exceptions that prioritize the pregnant womanâs health.
|
This pending Supreme Court decision would open the door for a Republican Congress to pass national laws banning abortions; by 2025 abortion access for every American woman could disappear.
What other rights will be taken away by this right-wing court which was created through the shameless engineering of Republicans like Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell?
We CANNOT allow powerful Republicans and their complicit schills to systematically destroy our Constitutional rights. Only by ensuring Democratic victories can we ensure that we retain even the most basic rights we have as Americans.
Please chip in to support our programs to elect Pro-Choice Democrats in Oregon!
Oregon Democrats will fight like hell to preserve the fundamental right of Oregon women to keep the government out of their bodies, and with your crucial help, we will elect Democrats who will work to bring women's rights back to the 21st Century.
Yours in the fight for reproductive freedom,
KC Hanson, Chair
