by Judith L. Lichtman | Jul 14, 2018 | Supreme Court and Judicial Nominations
That is what’s at stake here: our lives. Our right to abortion care and ability to access it is about our health, the well-being and future of our families, our autonomy and our dignity. Ultimately it is about our ability to be equal.
