Today’s Supreme Court opinion will cause real pain, suffering, and hardship across the country, and it will only further entrench racial, gender, and economic inequality. It also marks the first time in our nation’s history that We the People have been stripped of a fundamental Constitutional right-and it signals that this court might not be finished with its efforts to strip away and roll back the rights that we have fought for and won over the last century. Today the Court eliminated the right to safe and legal abortion access, but under the reasoning of the Court’s opinion today, all other liberty rights, including to contraception and the freedom of LGBTQ people to marry, are vulnerable. This is not only an attack on personal autonomy and the right to control our bodies and the trajectory of our lives, but also on the rule of law. I am as proud to say that I represent the clinic, its doctors, and patients as I am to say that I represented Edie Windsor, who successfully sued the federal government to recognize that she and her wife were married in United States v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, on behalf of the last-remaining abortion clinic in Mississippi, my client for more than four years. I am one of the lawyers who litigated Dobbs v.
