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.

Jackson’s dismissal of the overwhelming majority of sexual assault reports not only reveals that she is unfit to head the Office for Civil Rights, it also confirms the persistence of what Fatima Goss Graves of the National Women’s Law Center calls the “rape myth” that women who come forward “are either lying or have regret.” Without data, Jackson asserted that not just some, but nearly all women who report assault are liars who unfairly target men for revenge. It is morally repugnant that Jackson would propagate this insidious myth as Title IX’s chief enforcer when such bias discourages many women from ever coming forward.
