Sample Letter to State Lawmakers

Dear [Decision Maker],

For too long, reproductive rights in this country have been chipped away by extremist lawmakers who think nothing of putting political ideology above women's health, rights, and safety. Here in our state, we have been affected by [personalize here]. It's time to stop these attacks. We need a federal law that puts women's health first. That's why legislators like Texas State Representative Jessica Farrar, North Dakota State Representative Gail Mooney, and Wisconsin State Representative Chris Taylor are all endorsing the Women's Health Protection Act. Now they're calling on lawmakers all across the country like you to join them. You can take action at actforwomen.org. Under the Women's Health Protection Act, states could no longer impose oppressive and medically unnecessary requirements on reproductive health care providers, such as those that restrict medication abortion, deny women and doctors the opportunity to use telemedicine, or force women to undergo invasive mandatory and unnecessary ultrasounds. The Women's Health Protection Act would keep extremist lawmakers from interfering with women's private decision making and begin to restore the constitutional rights established for women by Roe v. Wade. Safe. Legal. Where we live. Act for Women | 9 We need a federal law that puts women's health and rights first. I urge you to stand up for my rights and join your colleagues in state houses across the country by urging Congress to pass the Women's Health Protection Act: actforwomen.org.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
