This story was so difficult to take in

 

The shocking story made national news this month. It’s disturbing, and mentions rape, so please only keep reading if you can, OK?

This broke my heart. It’s taken me a while to fully take it in. 

A 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio had to cross state lines into Indiana, and thankfully was able to receive an abortion on June 30, less than a week after Roe v. Wade was overturned. 

Since then the doctor from Indiana who performed the abortion has been put under investigation by the Indiana Attorney General, after receiving WEEKS of harassment since the story went wide.

It’s difficult to think that this case will not be unique as states begin cracking down on their abortion bans. 

And in those cases, without the state attorney general getting involved and all the media, it will be up to the local DAs to decide whether or not to charge the physician and the women or child receiving an abortion.  

As a father, I can’t stand to think about this.

But I know that one of the best ways we can help, and ensure physicians can continue to give life-saving procedures like this abortion to a little girl, is by electing and protecting strong-willed, pro-choice DAs ready to fight for them.

DAs across the county, including 24 Real Justice-elected DAs, have taken the pledge to not prosecute women for abortion charges. But we NEED to see that number grow in order to help women and girls in this situation.

We NEED the funds to back upcoming elections to defend and elect more DAs that will protect women and girls from this legal treatment. We are counting on you to help close our fundraising gap this weekend. PLEASE, can you help us with a donation of whatever you can afford today?

We have been sending you emails all month telling you just how important DAs are in this fight — but cases like this are proof of just how badly we need them.

It’s DAs on the ground that are going to be the first line of defense in this fight. And especially in conservative states, we need to ramp up our fight!!!

We are working on a number of races to defend and elect pro-choice DAs, but we need the financial backing to give them as much support as possible. 

I know this story was tough to take in, but we can't just sit back and see this happen more and more. 

You can be part of the push to give women and girls the protection from pro-choice DAs to receive an abortion without getting fined or going to jail for their decision.

Please. I’m counting on you. Make a donation today before our deadline this Sunday so we can defend and elect more DAs to protect as many women as we can in towns and cities nationwide.

Appreciate you, 

Shaun
