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.

Heather Shumaker, a senior counsel at the National Women’s Law Center, which supports abortion rights, told The Hill that the push is unsurprising. “We have a new conservative justice in the Supreme Court, we have a lot of Trump appointees to the federal courts,” she said. “I think certainly anti-abortion activists and legislators are feeling emboldened to push these unconstitutional abortion bans.” Shumaker says that despite movement on the right to go after abortion providers, she doesn’t expect any cases to be argued before the Supreme Court.
