Sign the petition re: Roe v. Wade Ashley Judd

To  Alfred F Johnson  
Dear MoveOn member,

This is Ashley Judd. I am an actor and activist, and I come from a long line of feisty women who care deeply about their communities.

As you know, our bodily autonomy and right to dignity have been under siege by laws recently passed in Alabama, Georgia, Missouri, and Ohio. These laws severely limit access to abortion and expand state control over pregnant people's bodies—our bodies. Clearly, these state-level laws are part of an aggressive and coordinated war on Roe v. Wade and our right to make private decisions about the most personal aspects of our reproductive lives.

That’s why I’m asking you to sign this petition urging the Supreme Court to protect our bodily autonomy and human rights. The petition was created by the Yellowhammer Fund, a critical organization in Alabama that helps folks access safe abortions.
Don't overturn Roe v. Wade. Protect abortion rights. End the attacks on reproductive rights and pregnant people's health. 
People seeking abortion services have long faced complex barriers to receiving the care they need and deserve. The legislation passed in Alabama is the most extreme of the new laws because of its criminalization doctors and pregnant people!

This is unacceptable.
We won't go back to a time when, for pregnant people, unsafe abortions accounted for at least one in six pregnancy-related deaths.1

Please join me in signing Yellowhammer Fund's petition telling Chief Justice John G. Roberts and the Supreme Court justices to end these extreme policies which deny families the right to determine whether, when, and how to create a family.

Thanks for all you continue to do.
