The Supreme Court is poised to gut or overturn women's fundamental right to abortion in a few months. We must Resist!
1 St. Patrick's was the site of the first pro-choice civil disobedience in 1989. Abortion provider, activist and author Merle Hoffman, who brought a 7-ft coat hanger (symbolizing the dangerous back-alley abortions before Roe v. Wade), will speak again at St. Patrick's on February 27, and we will raise the same hanger again!
2 All the Supreme Court Justices likely to uphold the restrictive Mississippi abortion ban that would gut abortion rights are deeply informed by the anti-abortion teachings of the Catholic Church. A “factsheet” from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops states: "Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable.”
3 We draw inspiration from the women of Poland who defied the powerful right-wing alliance of the Polish church and state in pushing for even more severe abortion restrictions. We draw inspiration, as well, from the fierce struggle of women fighting abortion restrictions in Mexico, Argentina, and elsewhere.
Together, let's break the silence and call thousands of people to join us in the streets on March 8, International Women's Day in NYC, 3 pm at Union Square & nationwide.
