Justice O’Connor’s observation in 1992 defines our reality today. What we have taken for granted as a reproductive right for over 40 years is now under threat.
The Georgia State House of Representatives passed the unconstitutional abortion ban on a thin margin of 2 votes, then sent it to Governor Kemp, who signed it into law on May 7, 2019.
Today, the ACLU of Georgia is firmly on the frontlines protecting the liberty and freedom of women and couples to decide whether and when to start or expand a family without government interference.
“The ability of women to participate equally in the economic and social life of the Nation has been facilitated by their ability to control their reproductive lives.”
—U.S. Supreme Court Justice
Sandra Day O'Connor,
writing the majority opinion in the 1992 U.S. Supreme Court decision, Planned Parenthood v Casey.
