Safeguard comprehensive reproductive rights through federal legislation
To: Pres. Biden
From: A constituent in Seattle, WA
November 7, 2024
Reproductive rights are being severely threatened across our nation. Planned Parenthood reports that the majority of Americans believe abortion should remain legal and accessible, and that politicians should not be involved in personal medical decisions about reproductive health or pregnancy. However, recently passed laws in many states have imposed draconian restrictions or outright bans on abortion, violating the fundamental right to bodily autonomy. We must take immediate action to codify reproductive freedom into federal law and protect access to safe abortion services nationwide. Forcing people to carry pregnancies against their will has devastating consequences for their health, economic situation, and overall wellbeing. I urge you to champion comprehensive reproductive rights legislation that safeguards the ability to make private decisions about abortion without government overreach or interference based on personal beliefs. The future of reproductive justice in America is at a critical juncture, and your leadership on this issue is desperately needed.
