Our civil rights are woven together — and when one thread is pulled, other rights can unravel. The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization could threaten not only our abortion rights, but many other civil rights as well. As a ruling in this case approaches, it is critical that we understand what is at stake for our community. ASAN has joined with other disability rights organizations to release a legal memo explaining the impact of a ruling in the case, available for download here [[link removed]] .

Our memo explains how the Supreme Court is poised to threaten many of the rights that the disability community, as well as many other marginalized communities, have fought for for decades. It includes information about the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, the leaked draft decision, and how the ruling could threaten our personal rights surrounding marriage, intimacy, sterilization, medical care, housing, speech, and more. The potential consequences of this Supreme Court decision are devastating, and would disproportionately harm disabled people, LGBTQ+ people, and people of color.

We encourage you to download [[link removed]] and read our memo, and to share it with anyone who would like to better understand the case and its potential impacts. To protect our communities, we must unite in opposition to this Supreme Court opinion and its unjust results.
