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.

Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) women who worked full time, year-round in 2022 were typically paid just 93 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. But figures for AANHPI women vary widely by community. For example, among full-time, year-round workers, Bhutanese women make just 49 cents while Indian women make $1.26 for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. However, even though some groups of AANHPI women working full time, year-round make more than white, non-Hispanic men, they still make less than men in their respective communities. Among full-time, year-round workers, AANHPI women overall were typically paid just 78 cents for every dollar paid to AANHPI men. Whatever the wage gap for AANHPI women, lost earnings due to the racist and sexist wage gap has robbed them of the economic security they and their families deserve and adds up to substantial losses over a lifetime. Some communities of AANHPI women are losing over $1 million over a lifetime due to the wage gap. This harms not only these women, but the families who depend on their income.
