Fight for Reproductive Freedom
To the editor:
Monday, Iowa put in place an abortion ban at 6 weeks, which makes Iowa the 22nd state in our country to have an abortion ban. At 6 weeks, many women do not know that they are pregnant. Anti-choice extremists like Donald Trump and J.D. Vance are the reason why cruel abortion bans are ripping away women’s rights across the country. While president, Trump handpicked three members of the United States Supreme Court because he intended for them to undo the protections of Roe v. Wade.
This means one in three women of reproductive age in America lives in a state with abortion ban.
When Harris is elected president, Kamala will sign into law the protections for reproductive freedom.
Project 2025-a conservative blueprint for the next Republican president-lays out a plan to take things even further with nation-wide abortion laws and decreased access to emergency contraception. According to CNN, the manifesto was cowritten by multiple former Donald Trump appointees. Trump’s name appears over 300 times in the Project 2025 Plan.
Look for a local action this week and up to Nov. 5 Election to support Reproductive Freedom.
VP Harris has said: “We trust women to make decisions about their own body. We trust women to know what is in their own best interest. And folks, women trust all of us to fight for their rights.”
Vote for Harris and Democrats to give back a woman’s right to make personal medical decisions.
