Received this e-mail today from Lt. Governor Ralph Northam’s (D. VA) gubernatorial campaign:
Friends—
It’s not just that President Trump and extremist Republicans are attacking women’s healthcare—it’s that they’re proud of it. That’s right: They’re proud to be shutting down women’s health clinics across the country. As a doctor, I’ve seen first-hand the lifesaving work these clinics do, providing essential care that women need—like cancer screenings, prenatal care, contraception, and abortions.
That’s why I’m calling on you, Friends. We need your help to show President Trump and Republicans in Richmond that we won’t put up with their anti-women policies in Virginia.
Add your name if you believe that a woman’s healthcare decision is her right—and her right alone.
Women who can’t access reproductive healthcare are less likely to finish school, more likely to end up unemployed, and more likely to fall into poverty. And with President Trump already proposing cuts to federal assistance programs that provide children healthcare and financial benefits to poor families, closing these clinics comes at a cost many women just can’t afford.
Add your name and show Republicans that they may control Congress, but it’s women who control their own bodies.
Thanks for joining the fight,
Ralph
