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.

And once you’re there, getting paid your fair share also presents a unique set of challenges, says Andrea Johnson, senior counsel at the National Women’s Law Center. “When you’re talking about these higher level, professional employees,” Johnson says, “the way pay is set for them, there’s a lot of opportunities for bias to enter into that. There’s performance evaluations and how women are perceived in their ability to do their job versus men, there’s less of a standardized process for determining that CEO pay. So you start to see more bias come in, because of the discretion that’s allowed in setting the pay.” Further, Johnson points out, “the wage gap has been largely stagnant for the last decade.”
