Is Virginia the Next South Dakota?
Dear xxxxxx,
Can you believe it? South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds (R) has just signed into law a ban that criminalizes abortion in the state of South Dakota! Americans across the nation are outraged by this severe attack on women's health and safety. So let's do something about it.
Write Governor Rounds a personal note to let him know EXACTLY how you feel about this dangerous abortion ban. We'll even send a copy of your message to your governor to help make sure Virginia doesn't become the next South Dakota.
Make no mistake this ban is part of a larger plan by hardline extremists to eliminate the right to abortion in the United States. Governor Rounds attended the National Governors Association conference in Washington, DC, last week where he undoubtedly encouraged other governors to follow his lead. We cannot allow this trend to sweep the nation. Planned Parenthood will use all legal options available to prevent this law from taking effect, but we need you to do your part too.
Tell Governor Rounds and your governor that Americans do not support any bans on the right to choose.
And once you've taken action, please be sure to check out our We Stand with South Dakota Women page on our website where we'll anonymously post some of your messages and suggest other ways for you to speak out.
Keep fighting the good fight,
Cecile Richards President Planned Parenthood Federation of America
