Hi there,

The latest Republican attack on abortion access is the worst yet: 
The Oklahoma House of Representatives has passed a bill that 
would make it a felony for a doctor to perform an abortion.

You read that right -- doctors who defy the law could be put in prison 
for up to three years and have their medical license revoked.

The bill is callous, completely unconstitutional, and punishes women 
by criminalizing doctors. But the Republican-controlled legislature 
doesn't care. And they're not alone.

Across the country, Republican-controlled state legislatures and 
governors have enacted a wave of anti-choice legislation that has 
shut down some of the most vital clinics in the country. And these 
bills spread -- once an anti-choice law is enacted in one state, 
more states follow.

We need to fight back against the onslaught. Donate $3 to help elect 
pro-choice Democratic women running up and down the ballot 
who will stop these attacks before they spread:

Flipping state legislatures is critical. But to protect abortion access, 
we need to elect pro-choice candidates at all levels of government.

In the House, where the GOP has passed a national abortion ban, 
we can replace some of the most extreme anti-choice representatives 
with pro-choice women.

In the Senate, where the Judiciary Committee recently debated a 
national abortion ban but refused to discuss President Obama's 
Supreme Court nominee, we can take back control with five of the 
Democratic women we've endorsed.

And we've endorsed a woman for president who has been a 
champion for women and reproductive rights her entire career.

Help protect abortion access for women across the country. Donate 
$3 today to help elect pro-choice Democratic women:
