OPPOSE THE RAPE AUDIT BILL HERE

Keith--Wow! UltraViolet members have donated over $19,000 to hold Republicans accountable for passing the notorious "rape audit" bill without a single female vote. That puts us just shy of our goal of $20,000—can you help push us over the top by donating $10?

Dear Keith,

They're at it again.

Last week, a key Republican-led committee passed the notorious "rape audit" bill, requiring rape victims who get abortions to report the details of their assaults to the IRS.¹ And here's the kicker--the bill passed without a single female vote.

We know that the only way to make Republicans back off their war on women is to hold them accountable in their districts. So we've created a powerful ad showing the faces of the 22 men who passed this bill without the support of a single woman.

They say a picture is worth 1,000 words, and in this case, that's absolutely true.

With the help of UltraViolet members, we're already pushing this image out far and wide on social media. But to really make this controversy take off, we need to expand the effort with ads targeted at the districts of the men who voted for this horrifying bill so that they can't ignore us.

If we can raise $20,000, we'll have enough to make sure this terrible bill dies. Can you chip in $10 to help pull it off?

Yes, I'll donate $10 to help stop the "rape audit" bill.

It's incredible--while most Americans want Congress to focus on jobs and the economy, Republicans remain obsessed with controlling women's bodies.

It's almost like they've learned nothing from Sandra Fluke, Todd Akin, and the political backlash from the war on women.

But the fact is, by being so blatant about their anti-woman politics, they're handing us a golden opportunity to make sure this bill and others like it go down in flames.

The ad we created just says it all--22 men and not a single woman telling rape survivors that they need to report their assaults to the IRS when they access abortion services.

Can you chip in $10 to make sure as many Americans as possible see it?

Yes, I'll chip in $10.

Thanks for speaking out.
