Our President and CEO, Nancy Northup, take the stage at #OurRightsOurCourts
"For people who can be pregnant, being able to control your fertility is critical to your health, your rights, your dignity, your future."

"There's so much politics, there's so much smoke, there's so much controversy around reproductive rights, that we often forget what is the fundamental reason, what are the fundamental facts about why it is so important to be able to control our fertility." #OurRightsOurCourts
"How we raise our children, whether we have children, who we choose to marry, all of these are the personal liberty. and thats what's at stake when we think about our federal courts." - President and CEO, Nancy Northup #OurRightsOurCourts
"The Supreme Court said "no" in 2016, you can't have this admitting privileges law, it's unconstitutional. So here we are almost four years later. The state of Louisiana has been in open defiance of that Supreme Court ruling." #OurRightsOurCourts #MyRightMyDecision
"Louisiana has persisted in pushing its admitting privileges law. This law is identical to the law the Supreme Court struck down in Texas. Not similar, identical. And it would have an even more devastating impact."#OurRightsOurCourts #MyRightMyDecision
"There are three abortion clinics in the state of Louisiana, it would leave but one clinic with but one doctor to serve a million women of reproductive age. So this is a straightforward case about the rule of law." #OurRightsOurCourts #MyRightMyDecision
"It's a straightforward case about the Supreme Court following its decision four years ago. Nothing has changed about the safety of abortion, nothing has changed about these laws not having medical benefit. The only thing that has changed is the composition of the Supreme Court."
"...Nevertheless, we are going to make the argument to every single Justice on that Court that the integrity of the Court in following its decision is so on the line, particularly in such a politically divisive time as now." #OurRightsOurCourts #MyRightMyDecision
We rely on the courts to protect our lives and our rights and our basic fundamental freedoms." - Nancy Northup, President and CEO #OurRightsOurCourts #MyRightMyDecision
