What to say:

Call your legislator and make it clear that they are going too far. Try to urge them to walk away from their most extreme positions.

• Introduce yourself, including your relation to the district.
• Emphasize your role in the local community.
• Explain why you do not agree with their position. Personal stories that exemplify the problems these bans would create are helpful.
• Ask if they will protect the right to an abortion in such cases.
• If they say no, ask them how they plan to fund more public childcare and maternal healthcare.
