Hola and Hello Tracy, I’m Karla Gonzales Garcia, the Director of Gender, Sexuality and Identity at Amnesty International USA and today I am INFURIATED. The Arizona Supreme Court just upheld a law made in the 1800s to ban essentially all abortions. Physicians in Arizona are now on notice that all abortions are illegal, except to save a person’s life. Amnesty is working across the country – and we’re on-the-ground in Arizona – to stop abortion bans and restrictions to ensure every person has the right to make personal decisions about their body. Can we count on you to bolster our efforts with an emergency donation today? This ruling is devastating. Laws restricting access to abortion violate the human rights of women and people who can get pregnant. Those who are already marginalized are disproportionately affected by such laws. But today, I'm reaching out because there is a way to stop this abortion ban. Our team has been working in Arizona supporting signature collection efforts to get abortion on the ballot this November to ensure that the right to abortion is permanently in the Arizona constitution. We need 300,000 more signatures by July 3, and Arizonans will have the chance to constitutionally protect this human right. What this will mean for people who can get pregnant: We can take control of our bodies, our privacy, our autonomy. No more politicians deciding for us. We decide for ourselves. But we need your help. Thank you in advance for standing in solidarity with people in Arizona and all of the states facing similar abortion bans. En communidad (In community), |
Karla Gonzales Garcia P.S. This Arizona abortion ban is not the first, nor will it be the last. We are working across the country to ensure every person has the right to abortion. This is critical work that affects each and every one of us no matter what state you live in. Please consider supporting our critical work to protect the right to abortion today. |
