Column: With Roe v. Wade Gone, Here's How to Save Abortion Rights
. No time for mourning, let’s get to work on what we must do to save our fundamental reproductive rights.
Justice Alito’s opinion shamelessly reverses direction on decades of Supreme Court precedent that had moved to curtail sex and gender discrimination and recognize greater rights for women and LGBTQ+ individuals. In doing so it puts at risk a whole family of privacy rights cases, including Roe’s jurisprudential cousins that protect the right to contraception and marriage equality.
The right to access abortion is at its core about controlling whether, when and with whom to have a child or not. It is a human right that is essential to a person’s dignity, bodily autonomy and freedom from sex discrimination. As the dissent aptly notes, the majority’s opinion “reveals how little it knows or cares about women’s lives or about the suffering its decision will cause.”show that 66% of Americans do not want Roe to be overturned.
Regardless of where you live, support candidates in key elections nationwide and at all levels. In Texas’ Attorney General contest, Rochelle Garza has a good chance to beat Ken Paxton if we grace her with our dollars, postcards and phone calls.
