Action on abortion rights

 From Daily Kos (click her to sign the petition):


The ultra-conservative majority on the Supreme Court is poised to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision.

A draft opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito leaked on May 2, 2022. Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett reportedly all voted in agreement.

The decision to overturn Roe stems from a Mississippi case challenging the state’s law that would ban abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization has yet to be decided—however, this leaked opinion is an unprecedented window into the majority court’s thoughts.

This isn't the final opinion or word on abortion access. This is a time to mobilize for our lives.

Despite Roe being the floor, not the ceiling, and much of the South already in a post-Roe environment, a negative outcome upholding Mississippi’s ban—or throwing out Roe entirely—would throw huge swaths of the country into abortion deserts.

Now more than ever before, we must demand abortion justice for all: abortion must be free, accessible, and available everywhere, in every state, for everyone.

If you're with us—ready to march, rally, volunteer, vote, and loudly demand abortion for all—add your name today.

Sign the petition: I support abortion justice!
