Contact Senators Before Extreme Vote on Abortion Bill

Contact Senators before Today's Vote!

In response to the leak of a draft opinion in the Supreme Court case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Senate has scheduled another vote to impose nationwide abortion on demand through the so-called Women’s Health Protection Act, S. 4132.

Your senators need to hear from you NOW.

Among other extreme actions, this most radical abortion bill ever seen would:

• Impose abortion on demand nationwide throughout every stage of pregnancy  

• Eliminate existing pro-life laws nationally AND in every state and local government 

• Force Americans to financially support abortions in the U.S. & abroad 

• Likely force health care providers to participate in abortions against their beliefs 

• Likely force employers and insurers to cover or pay for abortion 

Please contact your Senators today to let them know this horrible bill must never become law.

Take Action
