These elected leaders collectively represent nearly 87 million people from 28 states and territories and the District of Columbia, including nearly 27 million from 11 states where abortion is now banned or likely to be banned. #WhereIsMyDA bit.ly/3Hu7YMm

“Outlawing abortion will not end abortion; it will simply end safe abortions and prevent people from seeking the care and help they need for fear of criminal prosecution. I refuse to subject members of my community to that risk.” -@BexarCountyDA @gonzales4da

“Anti-abortion laws endanger the lives and health of marginalized individuals whose access to safe abortion procedures will be restricted the most. Our focus should be on violent offenders and crimes that truly impact public safety and quality of life.” -@SherryBostonDA

“The voters that elected me Michigan’s Attorney General did so knowing I would never place women in the untenable position of having to choose between exercising their personal healthcare decisions and the threat of criminal prosecution." -@MIAttyGen @dananessel

"At this frightening and dark moment, we desperately need the bold leadership demonstrated by these signatories – and hope to see far more prosecutors across the country join this chorus.” -@miriamkrinsky
