最高法院今天的裁决，推翻了 罗伊诉. 韦德, 没有什么比这更可耻的了吗, 全面, 政治驱动的决定会改变你的生活, 事实上, life-threatening consequences for women and other people who can become pregnant. 的 devastation of this moment and how it will erode so many of our fundamental rights cannot be underestimated.
Today’s decision revokes the federal constitutional right to abortion, 我们对自己的生活和未来也有了掌控权. As a result of this decision, 一半的州 are expected to ban abortion.
This is an outrageous attack on women’s rights and the bodily autonomy of everyone who can become pregnant, 其影响将是直接而深远的. Forcing someone to carry a pregnancy and give birth against their will has devastating impacts, 让他们的生活脱轨, 教育, 职业规划, and assigning them to a future they never wanted or envisioned for themselves.
尽管今天的情况很糟糕，但这仅仅是个开始. Extremists have made it clear they won’t be content until abortion is banned 在全国范围内. 他们也不会停止堕胎. 的 same extremists seeking to control the bodies of pregnant people are coming for our rights to access birth control and gender-affirming health care, 嫁给我们所爱的人, 然后投票. But sbobet篮球 has been fighting for our fundamental rights since before 罗伊诉. 韦德 已经决定了，我们现在不会让步，永远不会. 的 ACLU and our supporters have been preparing for this moment.
What is the Mississippi abortion ban, and how did we get 在这里?
密西西比州使用 多布斯 to issue a direct invitation to the Supreme Court to overturn 罗伊. 的 情况下 was brought on behalf of the last abortion clinic in Mississippi by the Center for 生育权, and it challenged a state law banning abortion after 15 weeks, 明显违反 罗伊. 的 state asked the court not just to uphold the 15-week ban, but to reconsider the constitutionality of abortion entirely and to declare that the Constitution does not protect the right to abortion 在所有. 这正是法院今天的裁决.
当堕胎被禁止时会发生什么?
Forcing someone to carry a pregnancy against their will has life-altering consequences, including enduring serious health risks from continued pregnancy and childbirth, 使摆脱贫困变得更加困难, 不受教育, 职业生涯, 还有人生规划, 让你更难离开虐待你的伴侣. This decision will also lead to miscarriages being subject to suspicion, 调查, 和逮捕, 病人和医生被关进监狱.
的se burdens will disproportionately fall on women of color, 那些勉强维持生计的人, 年轻人, 移民, 残疾人士, 以及LGBTQ+社区.
今天的裁决也将带来致命的后果, with the harm falling hardest on Black women and other people of color who already face a maternal mortality crisis that is most severe in the same states that are determined to ban abortion. 事实上，黑人女性是 三次 more likely than white women to die during childbirth or shortly t在这里after. If abortion is banned 在全国范围内, pregnancy-related deaths are estimated to 增加 by 21 percent 在全国范围内, and 33 percent among Black women.
堕胎权的下一步是什么?
没有联邦政府的堕胎权，大约 一半的州 是否有望在不久的将来禁止堕胎. 其中一些法律将立即生效, some will require additional action to put the law into effect, 一些州将通过新的法律.
这不是一夜之间发生的. It has been part of a decades-long project to take away a right upon which people have relied for half a century. Anti-abortion politicians have spent decades enacting a patchwork of abortion bans 在州一级 that pushed abortion out of reach and laid a foundation for the moment we find ourselves in now: when they can ban abortion throughout wide swaths of the country. 但我们知道，他们不会就此止步. Today’s decision brings anti-abortion politicians one step closer to their ultimate goal of outlawing abortion 在全国范围内.
我们怎样才能把愤怒转化为行动呢?
Everyone deserves the dignity and power to decide for themselves if and when they have a child. Those who are trying to take away our basic rights are counting on our silence. We cannot afford to stay quiet when our rights and our freedoms are on the line, and we won’t.
这是一个危机时刻，但我们并非无能为力. 今年，堕胎权确实是一项投票议题, and we must vote like our rights depend on it — because they do.
随着联邦宪法规定的堕胎权被废除, 州宪法权利比以往任何时候都更加重要. 在密歇根州和佛蒙特州, efforts are underway to enshrine the right to reproductive freedom in their state constitutions.
相反, proposed state constitutional amendments to take away abortion rights are on the ballot in 堪萨斯 今年八月， 在肯塔基州 今年11月. 我们不能让这些措施得逞.
