The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing arguments today about the Mississippi abortion law, and many are also gathered outside the building:
Starting momentarily: Oral argument in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a case involving Mississippi’s attempt to ban nearly all abortions after 15 weeks. The state has asked the court to overturn Roe v. Wade. We’ll be live-tweeting the argument here in this thread.

The lobbying group National Women’s Law Center offered up this take:
Rise and shine! Today’s the day, and it’s time to show that abortion is love, abortion is justice, and #AbortionIsEssential. Make your voice heard in:

“Abortion is love”?
“Abortion is love” is where the “safe, legal, and rare” movement went off the rails. https://t.co/8Fo6C9VPLh

We’re somewhat surprised they also didn’t claim “abortion is infrastructure.”
Honestly I'm pro choice 100%, but goddamn this message is messed up 😳 essential I could MAYBE get behind, for medical purposes sure, rape cases sure. But LOVE? More like a necessary evil. I can't think of a single situation where getting an abortion is an act of love

Parental love is love.
Intergenerational equality of rights is justice.
Pronatalism is essential.Your PR is witless, soulless, creepy cringe.
