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.

In this brief, the National Women’s Law Center urged the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to hold that a plaintiff does not need to show deliberate indifference when bringing a Title IX claim based on sex-discrimination in athletics, since the alleged discrimination involves an official school policy. The Ninth Circuit, in its 2010 decision in Mansourian v. Regents of the University of California, agreed, holding that schools’ and universities’ decisions with respect to athletics are by definition “intentional.”
