Add Your Name: Support Abortion Justice by Electing Democrats

By overturning the long-standing legal precedent set in Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court has directly attacked reproductive freedom and privacy rights in the United States. The egregious ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization gives states unrestricted power to limit abortion access. Thirteen states have enacted “trigger laws” to immediately implement near-total bans on abortion and another 13 states are preparing to do the same. Thanks to these Republican-led attacks on our rights, over half of the country will no longer allow people to have control over their own bodies or reproductive health. We must continue to speak out loudly and firmly that abortion justice is a Jewish value.  

By ignoring almost 50 years of precedent, the Supreme Court has restricted the constitutional right to reproductive freedom, religious freedom, and the fundamental right to privacy, for over half of the U.S. population. This ruling is a direct attack on women, LGBTQI+ individuals, and all others who are affected by this major violation of our basic rights. Following the Dobbs decision, other rights protectedby similar legal precedent, including gay marriage and interracial marriage, are now in jeopardy.  

It has never been more important to elect pro-choice Democrats this November who support our Jewish and Democratic values and will protect our fundamental rights, including access to abortion. As Jewish Democrats, we unequivocally support a person's right to choose and the notions of bodily autonomy, religious freedom, and personal privacy. We must elect representatives who will codify the protections of Roe v. Wade into law and prevent Republicans from further restricting a person's right to access reproductive healthcare. Everything is at stake.  

Add your name: pledge to vote Democratic this November because only the Democratic Party is committed to protecting abortion rights and supporting our Jewish and Democratic values.
