The ballot, not the bench, is the best remedy

John,
The draft opinion leaked from the Supreme Court this week confirmed what many
have long feared: the conservative majority is poised to turn back the clock on
women's rights by two generations.
This morning, Mike published an opinion piece that calls on Congress to codify
women's fundamental rights, and urges voters to hold elected officials
accountable for protecting reproductive freedoms.

"Freedom for women is not merely equality under the law with men," writes
Mike. "It is the autonomy and authority to be in control about when and whether
to have a child." Should the draft decision stand, women's freedom will be
determined state-by-state -- an approach, Mike notes, that aligns abortion
opponents with previous movements that fought against abolition, integration,
and interracial and same-sex marriage.
Several states have already passed or proposed extremist laws showing what
the world could look like when Roe falls, including extreme prohibitions
against abortion even in cases of rape incest, or when the mother's life is at
risk.
It is time for Congress to act. And time for voters to hold elected officials
accountable for their actions on women's rights.As Mike writes: "The ballot,
not the bench, is the ultimate arbiter of freedom."

call for Congress and voters to stand up for women?
