As the December oral arguments date for Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case fast approaches, all eyes are on the Supreme Court.

“We are at the culmination of 40 years of strategic planning to disrupt our democracy, to control and to manipulate pregnant-capable people into a religious theocracy and a worldview that in my opinion is grounded in white supremacy and oppression.” — Dr. Monica McLemore

“The FBI hasn’t answered the phone for Jackson Women’s Clinic in the last two years. That’s pretty frightening. I mean, it just goes beyond anything you would imagine.” —Diane Derzis

“Killed. They were killed. There were five or six cases of doctors who have been murdered who performed abortions. Buffalo had a case, we all know Dr. Tiller. We have doctors who talk about it now, Dr. Hern in Colorado is very outspoken about this, the man who lives with a bullet-proof vest on. You know, there was an awareness. There was also enormous courage on the part of those doctors who were most public about providing abortion care.” —Frances Kissling
