On the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, it’s important to remember that nearly 2 years ago, an anti-choice U.S Supreme Court stole our right to reproductive freedom. Roe was more than a court case; it gave us power to make decisions about our bodies and futures #RememberingRoe🧵 Image Since Roe was overturned, 21 states across the country have moved to ban or restrict abortion nationwide. And if that wasn't enough, extremists are going after birth control and restricting travel for abortion care. #RememberingRoe

One year ago, the Supreme Court succeeded in doing what Republicans have tried to do for nearly 50 years: overturning Roe v. Wade. They overturned a constitutional right for the first time in our nation’s history and jeopardized the rights and freedoms of millions of Americans. Your rights now depend on where we live and who represents you. Over the past year, extremist Republicans across the country have further stripped away freedoms at the state level with near-total abortion bans and restrictions.

WE CAN’T DEPEND ON THE COURTS TO UPHOLD ROE V. WADE.

Why we need to flip state legislatures, a thread: In 1973, the Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade that abortion was a constitutional right. At the time, abortion was illegal in nearly every state, but Roe mandated safe and legal abortion access nationwide.

So why are abortion rights still unequal? STATE LAWS.

Today’s announcement in the Breonna Taylor case was horrifying. But not surprising.

It reveals a deeply-ingrained system that undervalues, ignores, and denies justice to Black women. Black women, who make up just 13% of all women in this country, make up 20% of the women shot and killed by police.

And too often, their names don’t even make the news cycle.
