The Fight For Reproductive Rights Goes On
Tomorrow we mark 47 years since the Supreme Court of the United States' landmark Roe v. Wade decision. Yet the future of our reproductive rights are uncertain as the Supreme Court gets ready to hear a case that could mean major setbacks for women's health and rights.
Last year, states enacted over 50 pieces of legislation that ban or restrict women's access to reproductive health services. Together, we participated in a Day of Action with rallies across the country last May and we came together in July on the streets of New York to make our voices heard.

- Save the Date: March 4, 2020. Stay tuned for more information about how to join Hadassah — online and across the country — as we mobilize while the Supreme Court hears oral arguments in June Medical Services v. Gee. The case is regarding a Louisiana law that would place onerous and medically unnecessary regulations on clinics and physicians, eliminating nearly all access to abortion care throughout the state.
