“Republican-controlled state legislatures have been emboldened by this extremist Supreme Court to pass unconstitutional bans on abortion. Millions of Americans’ reproductive rights are at serious risk.” – Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)
With a 6-3 extreme right-wing majority in the U.S. Supreme Court, states across the country have started to pass even more restrictive—and wildly unpopular—bans on abortion care.
Laws such as those passed in Oklahoma, Florida, Mississippi, and other states around the country are unconstitutional—but that only matters if we have a court that will uphold the law. Reproductive rights are more at risk than at any point since the decision inRoe v. Wade made access to safe and legal abortion a constitutional right in 1973.
