49 years, John.
Today, on the 49th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, it’s critical we recognize the women who fought for years to deliver reproductive justice and the fight that’s ahead of us to protect abortion access in our communities.
Let’s make this clear: The constitutional right to access abortion is still under threat, John. We are currently facing some of the greatest threats to reproductive rights in decades. As the country holds its breath waiting for the Supreme Court to rule on Mississippi’s Dobbs v. Jackson Woman’s Health Organization, we can’t afford to stand idly by.
In honor of this historic decision, will you pitch in $19.73 to our Reproductive Rights Fund so we can continue to build power with Women’s Marchers across the country? It’s critical we send a loud message today to anti-abortion extremists that this movement is ready to fight to defend our rights under Roe v. Wade.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court denied Texas abortion providers’ latest request for relief from S.B. 8, the most extreme abortion ban in the nation. In a scathing dissent, Chief Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote:

“This case is a disaster for the rule of law and a grave disservice to women in Texas, who have a right to control their own bodies. I will not stand by silently as a State continues to nullify this constitutional guarantee. I dissent.” -Chief Justice Sonia Sotomayor, 1/20/22 |
As we saw in Texas, they will stop at nothing and use all the resources available to them to erode the right to safe, legal abortion for the sake of cheap political points.
We must stand in the same strength of Justice Sotomayor and refuse to stand by and watch our rights be stripped away from us. That is why we are asking you to make a gift of $19.73 today to our Reproductive Rights Fund to help fuel our organizing trainings and mobilization efforts.
But we can’t just stop at protecting Roe v. Wade, John. The reality is that access to the full spectrum of reproductive health care is already out of reach for millions of low-income, working people. Especially Black and Brown communities.
We can’t just hold the line, we must march forward to expand abortion access and reproductive rights and justice for all.
Together,
Women’s March
