Earlier this month, the Supreme Court declined to block Texas’ S.B. 8, the most extreme abortion ban in the country. Every day this unconstitutional ban is in effect — more people are denied the abortion care they need.
We have seen the devastating impact of this unconstitutional abortion ban on not only Texans but surrounding states who are taking on more and more out-of-state patients and pushing their own local community members to seek care elsewhere. This is the chilling reality of a post-Roe v. Wade world, John.
The 2021 state legislative season was the most hostile for reproductive health and rights since Roe was decided. According to the Guttmacher Institute, nearly 600 abortion restrictions in 47 states have been introduced this year alone, and 90 of those have been enacted.
This indicates terrifying possibilities, from copycat legislation starting to be introduced in other states like Alabama, to emboldening extremist politicians from stripping away our other constitutional rights.
We know S.B. 8 is unconstitutional and should have been struck down immediately, but instead made its way through ultra-conservative courts stacked with judges by Trump and his GOP accomplices. That’s why we need to be prepared for Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
We won’t sugar coat it, the attacks on abortion access are coming from all sides. But we have a secret weapon: you.
Our movement is stronger than this moment. We must stand strong for a feminist future we all want to see and be a part of. It means raising our voices and demanding that lawmakers codify Roe v. Wade into federal law, passing the Women’s Health Protection Act, and expanding the Supreme Court now.
The road ahead for abortion justice is a long one, and we can’t think of a better, bolder, or stronger group of feminists to march alongside.
Together,
Women's March
