Kadida Kenner speaks during a protest against the Supreme Court's imminent overturning of Roe v. Wade, at the courthouse in Media, Tuesday, May 3, 2022.
What Supreme Court leak confirmed: This is no longer the America we grew up in
Knowing the Supreme Court was likely to undo abortion rights didn't make the news easier for protesters who barely recognize their country.
Nearby at the booming microphone, NPP executive director Kadida Kenner voiced similar concerns in her speech.
“It starts with the overturning of settled law, which is Roe v. Wade, but it doesn’t end there. This is the start, because if you can overturn this settled law, then you can overturn Brown v. Board. You can overturn Obergefell [which legalized gay marriage]. We had it rammed down our throat that the far right did not want an activist court. How do you explain this?!”

Bob Casey is one of the last ‘pro-life’ Democrats. The Supreme Court decision is going to test his views.
NPP's Kadida Kenner also featured in the Philadelphia Inquirer [[link removed]] praising Casey on reproductive rights, saying the senator needs to cast aside his personal views and focus on upholding a popular law that most Pennsylvanians support.
"We all have our personal Constitutions,” Kenner said, “but I also believe that Senator Casey can see this from the legal standpoint. [Roe] has been the law of the land for 50 years … and he needs to continue to honor the will of his constituency.”
Weekend read: We need Bucks County youth to not just vote, but build political power.
