The Fight to Protect Abortion
Rights from a Radical Supreme Court
Tuesday, November 16, 2021 @ 6:30 PM ET
Last month the Supreme Court effectively allowed Texas to ban abortion after just 6 weeks. And while efforts to ban abortion are not new, Texas Republicans designed the enforcement provisions of SB8 as an end run around the Supreme Court's longstanding recognition of people's constitutional right to reproductive healthcare. The draconian Texas law deputizes private bounty hunters rather than the state officials to enforce the state's flagrantly unconstitutional abortion ban, setting the stage for other states to pass similar laws. Our courts have traditionally been the last line of defense for abortion access, and the Court is set to consider another abortion ban from Mississippi this December that strikes at the heart of Roe v. Wade .
This is a critical moment in the fight to preserve people's bodily autonomy and fundamental human rights. For decades, conservative state legislatures have introduced legislation preventing people from accessing abortions, but now a Supreme Court that has been reshaped by three radical and illegitimate Trump justices may be considering whether to undercut 50 years of settled precedent protecting abortion rights. Please join Alliance for Justice , Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN) , If/When/How Legal Director Farah Diaz-Tello , Jane's Due Process Legal Director Blake Rocap , and leading advocates on Tuesday, November 16th at 6:30 PM Eastern [[link removed]] for a conversation on the future of abortion access, what we can do to preserve the fundamental right to abortion, and how we can help those most affected by these bans.
