Never Go Back
Learn why a filibuster may be the best strategy for stopping an anti-choice Supreme Court nominee. Legal abortion hangs by a razor-thin 5-4 margin in the U.S. Supreme Court. The possible retirement of 1-2 Justices could allow anti-abortion President Bush to pack the Court with anti-abortion Justices who would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, relegating women to back alley abortions. Sign a petition; become a volunteer and you will receive materials and staff support to collect petitions and organize events in your community.
