Fighting for gender justice in the courts, in public policy, and in our society.
Justice for her. Justice for all.

Dear John,
You can’t fight to protect abortion access if you won’t even talk about it. So far, more than four months into his presidency—and despite numerous attacks on abortion access around the country—President Biden hasn’t put forward a vision for making sure abortion is available and affordable for all, let alone said the word “abortion” once.
Tell President Biden: It’s Time to Fight for Abortion [[link removed]]
TAKE ACTION [[link removed]]
We are in an absolute crisis when it comes to abortion access across the country. Without control of our lives, bodies, and futures, our very freedom is at stake. Since January of this year , more than 530 abortion restrictions have been introduced in state legislatures across the country. And, just on Monday, the Supreme Court announced it will hear a case that could gut or wholly overturn the legal right to abortion.
In the face of such attacks, we need President Biden and his administration to be clear in their unequivocal support for abortion rights and access. But in his more than 100 days in office, Joe Biden hasn’t explained how he’s going to make sure abortion is available and affordable for all… let alone even said the word.
Joe Biden needs to be a bold and transformational leader on abortion access now.
Demand that President Biden speak up and truly champion abortion access for everyone. [[link removed]]
The bare minimum is not an option when the Supreme Court will rule on whether to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The bare minimum is not an option when six states only have one abortion clinic left.
The bare minimum is not an option as state legislatures deny access to abortion to so many—most often low-income, LGBTQ people, and people of color.
It’s time for bold leadership, courage, and clarity. Tell President Biden to put forward a clear, unequivocal, and out-loud vision in support of abortion access. [[link removed]]
At the National Women’s Law Center, OUR vision is a world where people can get the abortion care they need, when they need it, and where our laws respect and support them. Because actually, abortion is something one in four women will experience in their lifetimes—it is health care, it’s freedom, it’s an act of love and compassion. And it’s not just OK be a leader who is a visionary about abortion. It’s necessary.
To be a true leader, you must use your bully pulpit to talk about abortion.
To be a true leader, you must do everything in your power to make sure our policies and budgets ensure affordable and available abortion care.
To be a true leader, you must condemn the state legislators who are taking away our ability to access abortion.
And to be a true leader, you must weigh in forcefully against the attempt to overrule our fundamental right to abortion and nominate judges who are committed to upholding that right.
There are leaders on the other side of this fight who have unabashedly, loudly, shared their vision for a country without abortion access. Leaders including Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, whose power on the Supreme Court could easily demolish Roe v. Wade once and for all.
There is no time to lose. The Biden-Harris administration must take a strong stance for abortion now. Tell President Biden: it’s time to become a visible leader in the fight for abortion access and the rights of pregnant people. [[link removed]]

There’s just too much at stake for President Biden to remain on the sidelines.
This administration needs to:
*
Talk
about
abortion
like
the
safe
and
common
experience
that
it
is.
*
Remove
abortion
restrictions
from
our
federal
laws
and
budgets,
including
writing
a
federal
budget
without
abortion
restrictions
like
the
Hyde
and
Weldon
amendments.
*
Champion
policies
that
truly
support
abortion
access,
like
the
EACH
Act
and
the
Women’s
Health
Protection
Act.
*
We
are
waiting
for
President
Biden
to
make
good
on
his
campaign
promise
to
be
an
active
advocate
for
reproductive
freedom
and
the
right
of
every
pregnant
person
to
make
their
own
decisions.
We—and
the
futures
of
millions
of
people—can’t
wait
any
longer.
Demand that President Biden speak up and truly champion abortion access for everyone. [[link removed]]
