Wade was first decided. [Image of Kirsten Gillibrand as a child]( I grew up, entered adulthood, went to law school, fell in love, got married and had two beautiful boys in a world where women's reproductive rights were always protected — where I had the choice to live whatever kind of life I wanted. [Image of Kirsten Gillibrand with her children]( But a year ago, six radical conservatives on the Supreme Court ruled to take away the freedom to choose that millions of us had counted on for decades. [Image of pro-choice activists standing behind Kirsten Gillibrand as she speaks]( Today, a generation of young women are growing up in a world where that right isn’t guaranteed — where far-right extremists are working every single day to take away their right to choose and control their bodies. In the year since Roe v. Wade was overturned, we’ve watched radical state legislators pass increasingly extreme abortion bans, outlaw interstate travel to receive reproductive health care, make abortions a felony and attack the right to birth control. And if Republicans retake the Senate, far-right extremists within their ranks will do whatever it takes to pass a nationwide abortion ban. [You have my word that I will never, ever give up the fight to restore our reproductive rights. But this isn’t a battle I can win on my own. That’s why we’ve set a $25,000 goal to defend and expand our pro-choice Senate majority. Can I count on you to split a donation between Progressive Majority PAC and me before midnight? Please, {NAME}, this is the fight of our generation — none of us can afford to sit on the sidelines.]( If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation between Kirsten Gillibrand and Progressive Majority PAC will go through immediately: [CONTRIBUTE $7 »]( [CONTRIBUTE $15 »]( [Or a custom donation »]( With gratitude and hope, Kirsten Paid for by Progressive Majority PAC [499 S.
