MEMO: SIX PENDING REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS CASES WE’RE KEEPING AN EYE ON

This month will bring a juxtaposition many observers once considered unthinkable: Americans will mark the 50-year anniversary of Roe v. Wade without a constitutional right to abortion.

Since the Supreme Court’s right-wing supermajority overturned the federal right to abortion care in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization this summer, millions have faced enormous, often insurmountable barriers to accessing abortion care. But the fight for abortion rights in the courts is far from over — and so is the threat posed by the stolen Court’s right-wing supermajority.

Dobbs was the Court’s most recent strike at abortion rights, but with the current makeup of the bench and so many reproductive rights cases pending in lower courts, it certainly won’t be the last. This memo highlights six key upcoming legal battles that could offer the right-wing Supreme Court justices a chance to further chip away at our humanity and reproductive rights.

Take Back the Court raises awareness about the urgent need to expand the number of seats on the Supreme Court to address the theft of the court by Senator Mitch McConnell during the Obama Administration. Without adding seats, Congress will not be able to restore the right to vote, ensure reproductive freedom, protect workers, halt our climate emergency, or pass new legislation. Court expansion, which can be accomplished without a constitutional amendment, is the only reform that enables the un-rigging of the system and the restoration of democracy.
