Many companies are stepping up and offering travel and other assistance for their employees to get abortion access but women should not have to share this private health decision with their employers in order to access what yesterday was a constitutional right.

For everybody saying it's unacceptable to change the number of Supreme Court justices, Mitch McConnel did that for almost a year. When he refused to allow RBG's seat to be filled, he changed the number of justices on the Supreme Court from 9 to 8.

Today, in Alabama & in states across the country, safe abortion is no longer legal. People will die because of it. That's not pro-life.

Understand what’s at stake this November. We have one shot to draw a line in the sand and send a clear and definitive message rejecting the extreme right-wing agenda of oppression. If we fail, if we fall short, if we do not show up en masse and #vote, there may be no going back.

People pretending to be pro-choice who are bashing Democrats have an agenda. I'm done with them. The only thing standing between us and a Christian fascist state is the Democratic Party. Support the Democratic Party or you are part of the problem.

After overturning Roe, Thomas wants to revisit Griswold, Lawrence, & Obergefell. How about revisiting Thomas’ conflicts of interest instead of our rights? #RoeVsWade

Let’s be 100% clear. If Republicans win control of the House, Senate and White House two years from now, they will pass a national abortion ban. And no matter where you live, no matter how pro-choice your state is, women and doctors will be locked up for practicing health care.

We are better than this. We deserve to have our freedoms protected, not stripped away.

The messaging needs to be clear, consistent and true. “Congress can override what the Supreme Court did and pass a law to legalize abortion. To do that, we need to elect 2 more Democratic Senators and to hold the House. Pres Biden will sign a law codifying Roe if that happens.”

Millions of women in America will go to bed tonight without access to the health care and reproductive health care their mothers and grandmothers had for 50 years. A constitutional right has been taken from the people of America.

When a uterus is more heavily regulated than an assault weapon, that’s when you know it’s a war on women.

Roe may be dead but medication abortion used by 54% of women who have abortions is FDA approved, safe and effective. No clinic. No waiting. Pass the word.

BREAKING: The Vatican calls out American pro-lifers for cherrypicking the Bible on abortion, reminds them that pro-life “also means being concerned about the mortality rates of women” who give birth and “defending life against the threat of firearms.” RT IF THE VATICAN IS RIGHT!

My message to the American people: You have the power to elect leaders who will defend and protect your rights. And as the president said, with your vote, you can act. You have the final word. So this is not over.
