Today, the Texas Supreme Court issued a grotesque ruling that upholds one of the most extreme abortion bans in the nation. This decision will put millions of lives at risk + will force Texas women to flee the state for care or endure dangerous and potentially deadly pregnancies🧵
Make no mistake, Texas Republicans. We know that you’re using the courts to sidestep the will of the people. We also know that the majority of Americans are pro-choice and won’t stand for your extremist agenda.
EMILYs List is proud to stand with Texas Congressional candidates Michelle Vallejo and state Rep. Julie Johnson, and Texas state House candidates Mihaela Plesa, Averie Bishop, and Kristian Carranza. We know they can triumph over anti-choice extremism this November.
Jessica comes from a political family.
- Her grandfather was a union leader.
- Her parents volunteered on campaigns.
- Her grandmother was an EMILYs List member.
Fun fact: Jessica Mackler began her career at EMILYs List as an intern, and like many of the staff here, she learned that it’s through hard work and sheer grit that you make it happen — there’s a dedication to doing whatever it takes to level the playing field for women.
On the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, it’s important to remember that nearly 2 years ago, an anti-choice U.S Supreme Court stole our right to reproductive freedom. Roe was more than a court case; it gave us power to make decisions about our bodies and futures #RememberingRoe🧵
Since Roe was overturned, 21 states across the country have moved to ban or restrict abortion nationwide. And if that wasn't enough, extremists are going after birth control and restricting travel for abortion care. #RememberingRoe
Voters have not forgotten, and the pro-choice majority is making their voices heard nationwide. Since the Dobbs decision, we have seen voters come out in force to protect abortion rights and take a stand against extremists trying to strip us of our rights #RememberingRoe
One year ago, the Supreme Court succeeded in doing what Republicans have tried to do for nearly 50 years: overturning Roe v. Wade. They overturned a constitutional right for the first time in our nation’s history and jeopardized the rights and freedoms of millions of Americans.
Your rights now depend on where we live and who represents you. Over the past year, extremist Republicans across the country have further stripped away freedoms at the state level with near-total abortion bans and restrictions.
There is still hope: reelecting Democratic governors and flipping legislatures in Michigan and Minnesota have allowed those states to codify protections for abortion rights.
🧵Today we’re celebrating our endorsement of @KamalaHarris. From California AG to VP, we’ve been there every step of the way. Join us as we highlight our favorite moments on this journey with @Madam_President.
@KamalaHarris @Madam_President VP @KamalaHarris took the We Are EMILY stage with a powerful message the day after the #Dobbs draft decision leaked: ‘How dare they!’ Her unwavering voice echoed our collective determination for justice. One year later, the fight continues…
@KamalaHarris @Madam_President VP @KamalaHarris shattered the glass ceiling as the first woman, first Black, and first South Asian American vice president. She embodies what it means to be an EMILYs List groundbreaker!
