I am outraged by the Supreme Court's decision to ignore settled law and overturn Roe v. Wade. At a minimum, you must publicly support a filibuster carveout for abortion and court expansion. Ideally, please publicly express your support for the complete abolition of the filibuster. It is not sacred nor impenetrable, and has been altered many times. We are in a crisis that deserves urgent action, as lives will be lost and lifestyles will be upended by six justices of the court. Already hospitals are delaying life-saving care because they are unsure of the legal ramifications. This is unacceptable. People. Will. Die. If we can pass meaningful legislation, the public will experience the benefits of a robust Democratic agenda, which will enable us to hold and expand our majorities in November.
Additionally, I support Senator Elizabeth Warren's call to utilize federal land (not native land) to provide abortion access in states whose far right extremist legislatures have limited or banned this vital form of healthcare. I am doing my job as a citizen, voter and activist and I need you to hold up your end of the deal. Thank you for your time and attention and I look forward to watching you make meaningful, bold choices to help our nation.
