It’s clear that if confirmed, Amy Coney Barrett would cement a conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Barrett’s record reveals she is open to more restrictive laws and a state’s expanded ability to regulate abortion.
"At this unprecedented time, and while the nation is still mourning and paying tribute to Justice Ginsburg's tremendous contributions to advancing equality..."
"...President Donald Trump has nominated a replacement who would gut Justice Ginsburg's legacy and turn back five decades of advancement for reproductive rights," said Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights.

As #COVID19 continues to surge across the U.S., pregnant, birthing and postpartum people are facing new and escalating threats to their health and human rights.
Longstanding weaknesses in the health care system--like access barriers, fragmented care as well as institutional and provider biases--are amplified even more by the pandemic, further limiting health care access and options.

This week we celebrated the release of Cindy Erazo, an El Salvador woman who was unjustly imprisoned for six years after suffering an obstetric emergency. #EsJustoLiberalasSV
Cindy suffered a stillbirth in 2014. She was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the alleged crime of aggravated homicide. #EsJustoLiberalasSV
Due to El Salvador’s total abortion ban, women are unjustly criminalized in situations including obstetric emergencies, when their lives are at risk, or when the pregnancy is the result of sexual assault. #EsJustoLiberalasSV

We stand in solidarity with @UNHumanRights and the human rights experts who recently shined a light on violations against people seeking abortion care in the U.S during #COVID19.
The Center, together with numerous other organizations, have published a statement of support for @UNHumanRights and their work to hold all governments accountable for human rights violations.
In this statement, we also express our deep concern over the U.S. government’s response and see it as a clear attempt to discredit the @UNHumanRights system.
