Just received from NARAL: Trent Franks introduces nationwide abortion ban

We knew they wouldn't be satisfied banning abortion state by state for very long. Anti-choice zealot Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) has just announced that he'll be introducing a bill to ban abortion after 20 weeks for women nationwide.

This is outrageous. It's unconstitutional. It would set women's reproductive rights back by decades. It would put the lives of women who face serious complications later in pregnancy in danger, and it would force women with no other options to seek illegal providers straight out of the 1960s.

We need to fight this and all attacks on choice with everything we've got. Please make an urgent gift to NARAL Pro-Choice America right away and stand with us on behalf of women across the country. We can't allow this to happen -- but we need your help to stop it.

We knew they'd keep trying. It's up to us to keep fighting.

So long as the majority on the SCOTUS support Roe vs Wade, this is not a problem.
