The Supreme Court decision to block Louisiana’s law that would place onerous restrictions on abortion clinics is welcome news in a time of toxic rhetoric and calls for draconian restrictions on abortion care.

This Administration is feeding the public a steady stream of lies, misinformation, and fearmongering, and tonight’s State of the Union was more of the same.   

We are disappointed and concerned about the infighting and divisiveness that continues to engulf the Women’s March, Inc. Racism, including accusations of antisemitism against the March’s leaders of color, and racially charged efforts to discredit these same leaders plague January 19th’s fight for gender equity and threaten to further tear apart a movement founded on the principles of unity and inclusion.

We call on this administration to examine its part in the events of this past week and to make amends. We stand in solidarity with communities all across the globe that find themselves marginalized and "othered."
