Hi there,

You've gotten more than a few emails from me over the last few weeks,
so I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Hillary, and I'm a
Senior Staff Attorney on the U.S. Litigation team here at the Center
for Reproductive Rights.

I started at the Center seven years ago this week, and it has been a
whirlwind since that October day in 2014. The throughline has been
this: every day, people's lives are shaped by whether they have the
right and resources to make fundamental decisions about their bodies,
families, and futures. And the power to make those decisions is
critical for gender, racial, and economic justice.

So, together with my colleagues at the Center, I've worked with
abortion providers to challenge restrictive abortion laws-in
states like Arkansas, Kansas, Montana, and Texas. And I've worked
closely with my colleagues to help advance the Center's work on
maternal health in the United States. We keep fighting year in and
year out to make the phrase "reproductive rights are human rights"
real.

Lately, I've been emailing you because I'm one of the lead litigators
on our current U.S. Supreme Court Case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's
Health Organization.

On December 1, the Center will appear before the Supreme Court for
oral arguments in this case. We're challenging Mississippi's ban on
abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy-a direct challenge to Roe
v. Wade's guarantee that, before viability, every person has the right
to decide whether to continue their pregnancy.

The consequences of a Roe reversal would be devastating. Abortion bans
like Mississippi's are extreme efforts to control our most basic
decisions. And the chaos and harm they cause falls disproportionately
on people who already face structural barriers to health care-in
particular, Black, Indigeneous, and other people of color, as well as
people with disabilities and people who have difficulty making ends
meet.











As you can imagine, we've been working around the clock to
prepare for our day before the Court. It's a big job, but I wouldn't
trade it for anything because I know we have people like you behind
us.






As we count down the days until our oral arguments, I hope we can
continue to rely on you to be right there by our side. I'd be so
grateful if you could make a special gift using this unique link to
help us continue this fight >>

Thanks so much for all that you do. I look forward to keeping you
updated as we get closer to our oral arguments.

Best,

Hillary
