On a day of national demonstrations in response to a leaked Supreme Court draft showing a majority of justices favor overturning Roe v. Wade, New Yorkers protest in favor of abortion rights on May 14, 2022 in Brooklyn. In recent years, New York joined several other states in passing laws codifying the right to abortion.

BY JENNIFER WEISS-WOLF | The Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jack­son Women’s Health Organ­iz­a­tion is a devast­at­ing blow—for demo­cracy and the rule of law, for the 64 percent of Amer­ic­ans who believe Roe v. Wade should stand, and for the low-income women and dispro­por­tion­ately women of color who will be most harmed.
What comes next? Inev­it­ably, our work starts and ends with the ballot: Voters must keep up the fight for free and fair elec­tions and mean­ing­ful repres­ent­a­tion. And we must hold our elec­ted lead­ers—from local prosec­utors, to state legis­lat­ors and governors, to members of Congress and the pres­id­ent of the United States—account­able to prior­it­iz­ing matters of repro­duct­ive health, rights and justice.

Despite appearances, most CPCs do not employ licensed medical personnel or provide referrals for birth control or abortion care.
In the House, the lead sponsors of the SAD Act are Reps. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.) and Suzanne Bonamici (D-Ore.), In the Senate, the bill is led by Sens. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). “No one should have to question that the person they are seeking medical advice from is actually a doctor or that information is accurate, objective and complete,” said Maloney.

The Supreme Court Clearly Doesn’t Care About Women’s Lives [[link removed]]
BY AZIZA AHMED | If we pay attention to those whose lives have already been destroyed by an inability to access abortion, we can see our collective future and the depths the challenges to come. Centering the voices of those who have struggled to get care—even as we recognize the implications of Dobbs on everyone—allows us to predict at least three immediate consequences of last week’s decision.
