After almost 50 years of protection and precedent, a right-leaning SCOTUS just overturned Roe v Wade putting countless lives at risk. While this is a setback, it is most definitely not a surprise. White Christian nationalists have been working towards this goal for the last few decades, rigging our democracy in their favor to ensure minority rule and control.
But this ruling isn’t just about reproductive rights, it’s about self determination. Clarence Thomas, in his concurring opinion is calling on the court to overrule Griswold (contraception), Lawrence (same-sex intimacy), and Obergefell (same sex marriage). This decision has far reaching implications that put most of us at risk.
But we are not doomed. @PrisonCulture [[link removed]] reminds us
“It IS a good day to pay attention today to the people who have spent 10 years saying this day was coming. Because coincidentally those are also many of the people who will tell you that nothing is doomed”.
Anything is possible…when we fight for what matters.
Don’t fall into urgency. Make time for grief. Listen to people on the ground. And get ready. This is gonna be a long game.

Any limit on abortion access disproportionately harms Black, cis women, girls, transgender and gender non-conforming people. It stems from a long history of reproductive control rooted in the legacy of enslavement. The fall of Roe is one more way the state can control bodies and criminalize the most vulnerable among us. The fundamental right to self determination and bodily autonomy is essential to liberation. Here’s what you can do:
