Thousands joined us in calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to
strike down Mississippi's extreme abortion ban. We're at a pivotal

Team-
On December 1, we will appear before the U.S. Supreme Court to argue
our case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. The case
challenges Mississippi's ban on abortion after 15 weeks of
pregnancy-a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade's core holding that
every person has the right to decide whether to continue their
pregnancy prior to viability.
This marks the first time the Supreme Court will review the
constitutionality of a pre-viability abortion ban since its landmark
decision in Roe in 1973.

Last week, thousands joined us in urging the Supreme Court to strike
down the Mississippi law and once again reaffirm the constitutional
right to abortion.
In more than 50 amicus briefs submitted on September 20, a broad range
of voices demonstrated the groundswell of support for abortion rights,
liberty rights, and racial, gender, and economic justice. Among them
were:
* More than 500 athletes-including U.S. Women's National
Soccer team forward Megan Rapinoe, WNBA All-Star Layshia
Clarendon, and more than two dozen Olympians-explaining
how access to abortion has allowed athletes to chart their own
futures and pursue careers in professional sports.
* More than 6,600 individuals who have had abortions joining a
brief that shares the stories of dozens of people about why
abortion access is so vital-and how it has shaped the
lives of people in the U.S.
* Leaders in racial and reproductive justice explain how abortion
bans disproportionately harm Black women, people of color, and
people having difficulty making ends meet, who already face
systemic barriers to health care.
* U.N. human rights experts, who argue that the U.S. would
contradict its human rights obligations if it upholds the
Mississippi abortion ban.
* Economists who cited research showing how Roe and the right to
abortion helped to advance women's social and economic lives,
and overruling Roe would impair that progress.
We're grateful to each of these individuals and groups for
supporting this case and making clear to the Supreme Court how
important abortion rights are to people's lives.

And we're grateful to you for your support as we continue preparing
for our day before the Court.
