Extremist judges will not stop endangering the lives of pregnant people or people who may become pregnant—overturning Roe v. Wade, attacking medication abortion, threatening the future of IVF, and this week at SCOTUS, emergency abortion care.
Our lawyers are waging strategic fights that make clear what is at stake for people who can become pregnant and seek to bolster our fundamental rights to control our lives, futures, and destinies.

It’s been 42 days since Judge Merrick Garland was nominated to be an Associate Justice on the United States Supreme Court. Today marks the day when, if the average amount of time had elapsed, confirmation hearings for Judge Garland would have begun before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Needless to say, they have not.
Since Judge Garland’s nomination, public support for the Senate holding hearings (and a confirmation vote) has only increased. Seventeen Republican senators have had the opportunity to meet with Judge Garland and ask him substantive questions – and the public likewise should have the opportunity to hear about Judge Garland’s views through his testimony at a confirmation hearing. Public opinion, Senate tradition, and the Constitution all support the same conclusion: Senate Republicans, you need to #DoYourJob.
