Action
We celebrated the 48th anniversary of Roe v. Wade and the constitutional right to abortion. While we will never stop fighting for Roe, we want to make sure it is the floor, not the ceiling. We must go beyond to guarantee sustainable access to abortion care. Check out our Tweet thread here.
Erin spoke on Facebook Live calling out anti-abortion extremists at Operation Rescue claiming the pro-life movement is “peaceful.” Check it out here.
