This is a pivotal moment for defending women's rights and protecting women's health!

Dear John,

Your kids and grandkids may ask you about this moment in time. They may ask what you did to stand up and speak out for women's rights and health when so much was on the line. What will you tell them?

So much is at stake.

*  In an act of unprecedented obstructionism, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is refusing to even consider President Obama's forthcoming Supreme Court nominee;
*  A House committee is still "investigating" Planned Parenthood, despite the fact that a grand jury not only cleared the organization of any wrongdoing but also indicted its accusers; 
*  The Supreme Court will soon hear one of the most significant cases for abortion access since Roe v. Wade, as well as another case that could determine if our bosses will be allowed to decide whether our health insurance covers birth control;
*  An anti-choice, anti-women Congress is poised to defund Planned Parenthood and pass abortion restrictions and bans; 
*  And our Bad Medicine report, coming out this week, shows -- once again -- how women's health is under attack in states across the country.

That's why we're sounding an alarm.

That's why we need your support in a really big way.

We need every one of our friends, activists and donors to chip in $5, $50 or even $500 to build up our $25,000 Women's Defense Fund today. Can we count on your support?

We cannot afford to sit idly by and watch our opponents obstruct justice, unravel our hard-fought gains and erode our access to reproductive health care.

It's time for all of us to rally together and fight back -- because this is a pivotal moment in time for women's rights and health.

We must raise $25,000 over the next 10 days to continue fighting back, so I urge you to support our Women's Defense Fund.

Every single dollar will be put to very good use right away!

Your support today will help us stand up, speak out and fight back.

Thank you for standing with us during this critical time!

Sincerely,
Debra Ness
President
