The public health implications of overturning #RoeVsWade are clear: it means pregnant people will needlessly suffer. act.ucsusa.org/3ndb6mk
The policy decisions following this ruling that restrict reproductive health will ignore what the best available science tells us about how to best protect people.
Everyone should have access to healthcare. Everyone should be able to access approved medical procedures, drugs, and other services. Denying or restricting people of these services only endangers people’s lives.
This decision ignores the science showing the profound impact of unwanted pregnancies on people’s bodies and lives.
Unwanted pregnancies can lead to serious health complications, including death. Not to mention the trauma, loss of agency over one’s body, and other impacts to people’s well-being.
The US has a higher maternal mortality rate than other high-income countries. Black and Indigenous women have the highest maternal mortality rates within the US. LGBTQ+, low-income, immigrants, and other marginalized people face barriers to accessing reproductive services.
The science is clear, this action will harm people, especially people in marginalized communities. #AbortionIsEssential #SCOTUS
