An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stop sending pregnant women & girls to Texas detention camps!

13 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

Pregnant immigrant children, as young as 13, and half of them pregnant as a result of rape, are being intentionally taken to Texas to be detained where there is no possibility for them to obtain an abortion. This is outrageous. Pregnancy for a 13 year old is high risk. In Texas women are dying because doctors are afraid to give lifesaving care to women whose pregnancies go wrong. They are dying of sepsis, ectopic pregnancies, and other conditions that that standard of healthcare and saving the woman’s life is abortion. 13 year old girls shouldn’t be forced into this situation. Their bodies are often not ready to go through pregnancy and birth, much less their minds. No one should be forced to carry their rapist’s baby. No one should be forced to continue a life threatening pregnancy. Women and girls should not be transported to Texas in order to deprive them of their rights, to deprive them of adequate healthcare, to force them to give birth. Please do something about this terrible situation.
