Saturday marks the 49th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark case that established the constitutional right to abortion care in the United States. But many of us who fight for reproductive freedom are asking the same question: Could this anniversary be Roe’s last?
It’s clear that activists and politicians hostile to abortion believe it may be. Last year, anti-choice lawmakers waged an all-out assault on abortion access in an attempt to interfere in personal decisions about if, when and how people can start or grow their family. And soon, the U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority is expected to rule on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a case out of Mississippi that directly challenges Roe and centers on a Mississippi law that attempts to ban abortion at 15 weeks.
