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.

On average, Black women working full-time make just 67 cents for every dollar paid to white non-Hispanic men, according to the National Women’s Law Center.
The implications of this pay gap are enormous, says Gaylynn Burroughs, an income inequality expert at the National Women’s Law Center.
“Black women and their families have less money to survive, less money to sort of weather a financial emergency, or a crisis, like the COVID-19 pandemic,” says Burroughs.
Throughout a 40-year career, the National Women’s Law Center estimates that Black women lose $907,680 to the wage gap.
