Dear friend, from the ultra-conservative leaning Supreme Court, to anti-abortion extremists in state legislatures – the attacks we’re witnessing on abortion rights are coming from all directions. There has never been a more crucial time for people to show up in support of our healthcare, our rights, and our freedoms. Unfortunately, the legal right to abortion alone has never been enough to ensure people, especially people of color and poor white people, can get the care they need when they need it. Laws like SB 8 in Texas and extreme bans in states like Mississippi, Ohio, and Georgia target those already marginalized by our healthcare system to deprive them of abortion access, shame their healthcare decisions, and put unnecessary hurdles in their way. No matter where you live, you should be free to maintain personal bodily autonomy, to have children or not have children, and to parent the children you have in safe and sustainable communities. In the face of unprecedented restrictions and a Supreme Court stacked against us, it’s up to us to push for bold solutions that ensure abortion is available, affordable, and accessible for anyone who needs it. Now is the time for us to show up and fight for our communities. Abortion justice can’t wait. I'll see you in the streets, Monique Teal, Daily Kos. | |||||
