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.

But the minimum wage disproportionately affects adult women, who make up early two-thirds of minimum wage workers, according to the National Women’s Law Center. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, which hasn’t changed since 2009, and it leaves minimum-wage earners below the poverty line (Georgia’s minimum wage is $5.15).
