Dobbs: What it means and what you can do to support abortion rights
The Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority has overturned Roe v. Wade in its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health. This decision, wiping out the federal constitutional right to abortion, is painful and will have a devastating impact on millions of people, in every corner of this country. Lindsay Langholz, ACS Director of Policy and Programs, reviews the decision, its immediate impact, and how you can take action today to support reproductive rights. This decision is devastating, but the fight does not end here. Our work to support abortion rights must and will continue, including at the federal and state level. Watch Lindsay’s video for more information about action you can take today.
