ILLEGITIMATE SUPREME COURT OVERTURNS RIGHT TO ABORTION

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (June 24, 2022) — Today, the Supreme Court’s right-wing majority overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, throwing out half a century of precedent to erase people’s fundamental right to abortion. Take Back the Court released the following statement on behalf of its executive director, Sarah Lipton-Lubet, in response:

“Roe v. Wade’s protection of abortion rights has fallen to an illegitimate Supreme Court dominated by an unelected band of extremists bent on controlling the lives of Americans. The only adequate solution is to expand and rebalance the Court. Any response that leaves Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, and their fellow extremists in control of the Court will fail to protect women, LGBTQ Americans, and people of color.”
