\u201cwomen are rising up to tell their abortion stories and stop kavanaugh\u2019s confirmation, but will senators listen?\u201d said fatima goss graves, president and ceo of the national women\u2019s law center. \u201cwomen know the stakes, and they\u2019re terrified at the idea that future generations could have fewer rights than we have today. we deserve a supreme court justice that will respect all our rights, including the constitutional right to abortion.\u201d
\n“with the announced scotus nomination of brett kavanaugh, all of us fighting for 2022年世界杯亚洲积分
have been activated by the rising threat against our rights, and the fear of losing fights that come to the supreme court,” says yamani hernandez, executive director of the national network of abortion funds. “the 70 abortion funds in our network know firsthand that abortion barriers most impact people who can least afford to take time off from work or school, to travel hundreds of miles, find childcare and lodging, and are dealing with unjust immigration and carceral systems. that’s why supporting people of color and our reproductive health care decision-making directly translates into making sure we can have the abortions we want and need on our own terms. anything less is irresponsible and regressive.”<\/p>\n
following the speakout, storytellers and activists will march to capitol hill, where they will share their stories with targeted senators from alaska, maine, north dakota, indiana, west virginia and alabama, to ensure legislators hear from real people as they make a decision that will impact all of our lives.<\/p>\n
the day of action marks the kick-off for \u201cjustice rising: women united to stop kavanaugh,\u201d a week of action by women and allies to thwart senate republicans\u2019 egregious effort to rush brett kavanaugh through a sham confirmation process.<\/p>\n
