Democratic senator and 2020 presidential hopeful Kamala Harris is raising funds for abortion groups to combat controversial abortion bans. 

Georgia and Alabama passed sweeping legislation limiting reproductive rights earlier this week. According to HuffPost, Harris sent out an email Wednesday to media to announce her plan to fight back.

“Outlawing access to abortion ― including in cases of rape or incest. Threatening to punish doctors who provide abortion care with up to 99 years of jail time. This isn’t a scene from 'The Handmaid’s Tale.' This is happening in Alabama ― in our country ― in the year 2019,” the statement read. 

The email asked donors to give to increase access and protect women's right to safe abortions. Organizations such as the Yellowhammer Fund based in Alabama, the Clinic Vest Project, ARC Southeast and the National Network of Abortion Funds are mentioned in the statement. 

Harris' vow to fight the controversial laws come after a visit in Nashua, N.H. During the recent campaign stop at Girls Inc., she told 300 people it was her mission to uphold Roe v. Wade decision making abortion legal. 

She added she would appoint justices to the Supreme Court that would uphold the landmark abortion decision ensuring the rights of women.

“A very significant factor for consideration of anybody for the United States Supreme Court [is] whether they are willing to agree with precedent and agree that this is an issue about a woman’s right to privacy, ” she said.

Within the matter of a day, the 54-year-old politician raised approximately $160,000. The initial goal according to a tweet from her campaign was $80,000. 

I’m sick and tired of these attacks on women’s rights. We are fighting to raise $80,000 for the organizations on the front lines of this fight. Pitch in today: https://t.co/jESkDv4whb
