Join the National Mobilization for Reproductive Justice in saying:
We, the People, Overrule SCOTUS:
UNJUST LAWS WILL BE BROKEN!
Multitudes of people across the U.S. poured into the streets to protest
the travesty of a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court on June 24. The court’s right-wing
reactionaries have dragged U.S. law back in time, overturning 50 years of
precedents regarding the right to abortion. It’s back to the days of
pro-segregation “states’ rights” law and bans on contraception and queer identities.
And forward to the dystopia of a fertilized egg having all the rights of personhood. We reject this future.
