Protest: The Supreme Court is Attacking Us – Again!

March 26 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Less than two years after overturning the constitutional right to abortion, saying such decisions should be “left to the states,” the Supreme Court is now considering a NATIONAL ban on one of two drugs used for 53% of abortions performed in the United States.

After two decades of safe use in the United States and double that in much of Europe, the drug mifepristone makes medical abortions less traumatic when used in combination with another drug, misoprostol. Restricting or outright banning of mifepristone, like every other politically-driven restriction on women and others to control our own bodies, would just mean mountains more needless suffering for people like us.

On Tuesday, March 26th, the Supreme Court will be hearing oral arguments on a case brought by the anti-women, anti-LGBTQ+ “Alliance Defending Freedom,” the same far-right outfit* behind an avalanche of other bigoted legislation and court decisions.
The Court already is ethically challenged by de facto bribes from Federalist Society-aligned wealthy patrons. We must continue to expose the illegitimacy of a court packed with political hacks who twist the Constitution to meet their far-right agendas.
Their growing lack of legitimacy in the eyes of the public is what the court fears most!

Therefore it’s up to us to broadcast far and wide WHY this court is illegitimate and that its politically-driven decisions MUST be challenged at every turn!
Please join us at 12 noon on March 26 in front of the U.S. Federal Courthouse, 219 S. Dearborn, Chicago.

Only WE must control our bodies – not bigoted judges and politicians!
*ADF authored the model legislation behind the anti-abortion Dobbs decision and was the driving force behind last year’s anti-LGBTQ+ 303 Creative v. Elenis decision
