Roe v. Wade: The Constitutional Right to Access Safe, Legal Abortion
A 1973 U.S. Supreme Court case, Roe v. Wade, affirmed that access to safe and legal abortion is a constitutional right. But Roe v. Wade is at risk like never before. Why? Because Roe has been under mounting attacks for years, and because our federal courts are packed with judges who have records hostile to reproductive rights. Three Supreme Court justices, as well as over 220 judges on the federal appellate and district courts, were appointed by Trump and confirmed by the U.S. Senate led by Mitch McConnell. Many of them have records unfriendly to sexual and reproductive rights. These judges, many of whom are young, have lifetime positions — and their rulings on abortion could affect generations to come. A Right in Name Only for Some
Protecting the legal right to abortion that Roe v. Wade established is crucial.
