Fifty-five years on and we’re still fighting for abortion rights.
|
|
 |
In 1973 Roe v. Wade invalidated all state laws restricting abortion in the first three months of pregnancy, and NOW chapters began escorting patients into clinics which were already being picketed.
|
|
 |
The Supreme Court, which now has six anti-abortion Justices, is taking up a case that puts Roe on the chopping block, which could clear a path for states to ban most or all abortions.
|
|
 |
NOW will continue to carry the torch forward to protect and expand reproductive rights once and for all.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We know we cannot go back to the way things were before Roe. But if Roe is overturned in the courts, 20 states would likely outlaw abortion… the Governor of Texas has already signed a bill that bans the procedure at SIX weeks.
Every success we’ve had, every step of progress we make, is because of the passion and energy of feminists like you being a part of this movement, and we need you with us during this dire moment. It’s up to us to defend access to reproductive health care. Will you make your gift today to celebrate 55 years of NOW activism and to help us push back against this latest wave of attacks?
We’ve set a goal to raise $55,000 this month, and the first 55 NOW supporters who step up with a gift of $55 or more will receive a special Representation Matters lapel pin.
