The fiftieth anniversary of Roe v Wade approaches this Sunday we must face the grim, deadly reality of what its overturning has meant for women, girls and anyone who can become pregnant: Millions have already lost access to abortion in a dozen states, with more to follow, and all women and girls are relegated to second class status across the country.

The right to control our reproduction is not a "state's rights" issue No human being's rights are negotiable, or they are no longer rights! While each attack needs to be opposed, we will not give ground, let alone accept and normalize such degraded status, whether it comes from abortion opponents or "friends" who try to limit our sights to the "politics of the possible" in a time of fascist ascendancy.

The dire situation in Wisconsin is a case in point. When Roe fell, a law banning abortion dating from 1849 took immediate effect, and abortion clinics closed across the state. How telling that a law dating from the era of chattel lavery now forces motherhood, a form of female enslavement, on anyone who becomes pregnant in that state. Wisconsin is also one of the most extremely gerrymandered states in the country, where Democrats routinely win more votes and yet, Republican fascists significantly outnumber them in the legislature. Now, a seat on the state supreme court has become vacant, and abortion advocates are mobilizing to elect a pro-abortion judge to fill it. This is outrageous that the future of our siblings in Wisconsin is to be put up to a vote!
