Overturning Roe and outlawing abortions will never make them go away.
It only makes them more dangerous, especially for the poor + marginalized.
People will die because of this decision. And we will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.

The Supreme Court has struck down Roe v. Wade, which for nearly 50 years has protected the right to abortion.
This decision will not end abortion.
What it will end is safe and legal access to this vital medical procedure.
It is a sad day in the United States.

The government doesn't belong in your doctor's office. Period.
Millions of people across the country, across Illinois, and right here at today's rally are scared and disgusted.
In Illinois, you're safe. And we're going to make sure it stays that way.

PNA causes stress on young people, puts an unnecessary burden on our legal system, and ignores that you can not force improved family communication via state law.
All PNA really does is delay access to essential health care.
It's time to #RepealPNA.

"When people tell me that intersectionality marginalizes class, I say no, intersectionality is what we need to understand why it’s been so difficult to mount a fully class-centric movement."

Help repeal the dangerous Illinois Parental Notification Act (PNA), which forces young women who can't get parental consent to plead for their right to an abortion to a judge. Join @NOWnnwsubil this Wednesday, 1/20 at 7:00 pm for My Parents Would Kill Me. tinyurl.com/repealpna

Let’s make this the norm—our democracy depends on it.

When asked about whether the government should be allowed to make same-sex relationships illegal, SCOTUS nominee Amy Coney Barrett had no response. We have every right to be worried. #WeDissent
