Legal Momentum Statement on Dobbs v. Jackson

Today, the Supreme Court of the United States overruled Roe v. Wade and eliminated the federal right to abortion. The Dobbs decision is harrowing, but it is not surprising. For decades, legislators have restricted access to abortion and prevented many people—particularly low-income women of color—from receiving safe and affordable reproductive health care. The consequences of today’s ruling are far-reaching and dangerous.

Racial Justice

At Legal Momentum, we recognize that the fight for gender equality is also a fight for racial justice. We understand that to tackle gender discrimination, we must also address the institutional racism faced by people of color in this country. We know that discrimination in any form puts marginalized groups at greater risk of economic hardship, exclusion, and violence.

Legal Momentum Statement on the One-Year Anniversary of Dobbs v. Jackson

Today marks one year since the U.S. Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade and eliminated the federal right to abortion. The decision threatened the reproductive rights and autonomy of all birthing people, but as we know, it has affected some groups far greater than others. Low-income women, women of color, and the LGBTQ+ community continue to be disproportionately affected and harmed by the rollback of reproductive protections in the post-Roe era.
