“Supreme Court Leak:
Our Worst Fears Confirmed
Abortion is still legal. It’s still your right. But the Supreme Court is prepared to end your constitutional right to abortion. Our country is facing an abortion access crisis.
By this summer, 26 states could move to ban abortion — affecting 36 million women, plus more people who can become pregnant. This is personal.”
Carolyn’s note: With Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973) poised to being overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, almost 50 years of abortion access is being threatened for American women.

Seven (count them seven) rallies in Arizona: Bisbee, Flagstaff, Payson, Phoenix, Sedona, Show Low, Tucson — all day on March 14. Check out the Calendar listings for more details, and speak your mind about the availability of abortion in Arizona and the Nation. I remember when Roe v.
