Received this e-mail today from Governor Kate Brown’s (D. OR) re-election campaign:
Friend,
Yesterday, I stood with Rep. Suzanne Bonamici and Sen. Jeff Merkley as we came together to talk about what is at stake with the vacancy that Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement leaves on the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Trump administration has promised to overturn Roe v. Wade, and this appointment will be their chance. That’s why we NEED you to raise your voices and put pressure on the U.S. Senate NOT to confirm a Supreme Court justice who would undermine our reproductive rights, our access to health care, and our progress on so many other fronts. Add your name to my petition >>
I’ve fought my entire career to protect access to reproductive health care. In Oregon, under my leadership, we succeeded in passing legislation to codify Roe v. Wade into law in our state. My opponent, Knute Buehler, voted no on this critical legislation.
CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin predicts that abortion will be illegal in 20 states in 18 months without a Supreme Court that will protect the right to reproductive choice. And if we don’t protect the governor’s office here in Oregon, we could see our own protections rolled back as well.
It is appalling to me that the federal government wants to rob individuals of the right to complete medical information and full access to critical health services that they rely on.
That is why we need your voices to ensure that this vote on the Supreme Court nominee is not a strike against women and families across America. Add your name: let the U.S. Senate know that they must stand up for the fundamental rights of women across the country by voting NO on Trump’s nominee.
Let’s fight, fight, fight -- and together we can do it!
Thanks,
Kate
