The Supreme Court just reversed Roe v. Wade, ending federal protection of the right to abortion. This decision will profoundly impact women and people who can get pregnant, with a disproportionate impact on low-income and BIPOC communities and individuals.⁣
⁣
Many states have laws that will go into effect immediately and over the coming months banning abortions. In some states, like Massachusetts, abortion protections are in place or are likely to go into place in the wake of this decision.⁣
⁣
Abortion funds and independent clinics are crucial right now in providing access to care and information, helping pregnant people navigate this new landscape and get the abortion care they need.⁣

🚨TODAY! 12-2, Northampton City Hall 🚨⁣
⁣
Join Planned Parenthood of Western Mass and Valley Women's March for a national day of action!⁣
⁣
On Monday, May 2nd, Politico published a leaked draft Supreme Court majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that explicitly overturns Roe v. Wade. This is an unprecedented leak from the court that, if true, would reverse nearly 50 years of precedent and explicitly end federal constitutional protections for abortion. 26 states could move quickly to ban abortion, meaning millions of people might live without local access to abortion. The people in oour community and across the country deserve the power and freedom to make their own personal reproductive health care decisions.⁣
⁣
It is necessary to act now, all across the country, not only to demonstrate that people support abortion access, but to show that we won’t back down.
