RALLY FOR ABORTION RIGHTS: DEFEND ROE
Right now, defeating the consolidation of fascism in this country means standing up for the right to abortion which is hanging by a thread, a thread that could be cut next week. On December 1, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization, the Mississippi 15-week abortion ban that seeks to overturn Roe v Wade. The world needs to hear OUR arguments!
Today's fascist movement, especially the Christian fascists at its core, has cut their terrorist teeth on clinic bombings and assassinations of heroic abortion providers for more than 30 years. The new Texas ban on abortion after 6 weeks that the Supreme Court refused to block, relies on "citizen enforcement" to punish anyone suspected of seeking or helping others obtain an abortion. This is an open invitation to the vigilantism that gained judicial backing with the Rittenhouse acquittal in Kenosha. Now, with three Trump appointees on the Supreme Court, those same Christian fascists dominate the Supreme Court.
We truly have no time to waste! The right to abortion was not won in the courts. It was won by generations who stood up in the streets, who refused to be cowed, who mobilized in their millions. Now is the time to do the same!
