Trump's plan has worked

On January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the landmark Roe versus Wade decision that state laws banning abortions violate the United States Constitution. For nearly 50 years, that ruling stood, but now the conservative majority on the Supreme Court appointed by former President Trump has reversed that ruling.

Trump had been allowed to fill three of the judgeships and appointed Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. Those three voted along with conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. Only Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer voted against overturning the Roe versus Wade landmark ruling.

Hundreds of demos already yesterday, more to come

Some voices from the U.S. have reached our inbox:

Today the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, immediately, severely, and unnecessarily stripping away the rights of millions of people.

It’s shocking, but not surprising. In fact, it’s a logical next step to decades of work that began when the Helms and Hyde amendments were passed post-Roe to deny the right to abortion to poor people, people of color, immigrants, young people, refugees, disabled people — both here in the United States and abroad.

For too long, U.S. policy has been dictated by an unaccountable, out of touch, largely white, largely male, elite minority — at the expense of everyday people. Make no mistake, this ruling puts the lives of millions of people in danger.

Team Win Without War

The Supreme Court just overturned Roe, leaving millions of vulnerable Americans at risk. Today we must take to the street in protest and hold Congress accountable to take immediate action.

It’s a fact: Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump built this Supreme Court to advance their ultra-conservative agenda. And we’re seeing it play out before our very eyes right now. If you agree that Congress must take immediate steps to protect our rights and safeguard our democracy, sign our petition in support of adding four seats to the Supreme Court

Team Demand Justice

Ever since "Roe v. Wade" recognized the constitutional right to abortion, anti-abortion extremists have worked to overturn the landmark ruling. They
finally got what they wanted.

This is the first time the Supreme Court has ever taken away a constitutional right. States have immediately begun banning abortion. Abortion clinics are cancelling appointments, leaving patients stranded with few options.

Make no mistake. The coordinated national strategy to eliminate abortion access  has already disproportionately harmed Black and brown people, LGBTQ people, young people, and low-income people who can face nearly insurmountable barriers to accessing the abortion care they need. Things are only going to get worse.

Commit to defending abortion today. Tomorrow. And beyond.
