TBTC WELCOMES PLANNED PARENTHOOD TO THE COURT EXPANSION FIGHT

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (May 14, 2023) — Today, Planned Parenthood announced its support for expanding the Supreme Court. It joins the ranks of other leading reproductive rights champions including We Testify, All Above All, Reproaction, Ultraviolet, NARAL, and nearly a dozen state reproductive rights groups across the country in supporting Court expansion to protect our rights to abortion, birth control, and bodily autonomy. In response to the news, Take Back the Court released the following statement on behalf of its president, Sarah Lipton-Lubet:

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Planned Parenthood’s leadership to the urgent fight to expand the Supreme Court,” said Sarah Lipton-Lubet, president of Take Back the Court. “A few short years ago, we were told Court expansion was a pipe dream. Now, it’s a mainstream progressive policy goal with the support of more than 60 members of Congress and some of the most respected and powerful abortion rights champions in our movement. With support from groups boldly advocating at the state level to leading national organizations, our movement is growing stronger every day. The right-wing extremists on the Court can try to rip our rights away, but we’re fighting back even stronger — and we’re going to win.”
