NCLR Remains Committed to Abortion Access for EVERYONE
nclrights.orgThis past Saturday marked the 49th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the historic U.S. Supreme Court case recognizing the right to abortion as a fundamental right protected by the U.S.
Constitution in all 50 states. Since that historic day in 1973, we have continued to see relentless attacks on abortion access that chip away at the fundamental right to reproductive autonomy.
These attacks have escalated dramatically in the last few last years, most recently culminating in the passage of SB 8 in Texas, effectively outlawing abortion in that state.
As we mark the important milestone that Roe represents in the quest for reproductive freedom, we join millions of others across the country who are braced for the very real possibility that the Supreme Court may do the unthinkable and reverse this precedent, potentially imperiling the reproductive rights of individuals in nearly half of the states.
