Today’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is a betrayal of justice and a violation of our fundamental freedoms. Together, we must push back against reactionary extremists’ attempts to erase progress and push forward toward our vision for a more just and equitable society.

People should be trusted to make their own decisions about abortion and reproductive health instead of being criminalized, dehumanized and controlled by extremists and the politicians who do their bidding. In Texas, abortion access has long been on the brink and out of reach, especially for women of color, those struggling to make ends meet and other vulnerable Texans. We must do everything in our power to ensure that Texans are able to access abortion care.

This fight isn’t over. The fight for abortion rights is part of a broader movement to defend our hard-won rights, protect our progress, and advance justice, equality, opportunity, and freedom for all people.
