  • ILNH Statement on pending Roe vs. Wade decision

    We are:

    Women. Girls. Mothers. Non-mothers. Men. Boys. Fathers. Non-fathers. Teenagers, middle-agers, seniors. Gay, straight, bisexual, asexual, transexual, queer. Students, teachers. Doctors, clerks, executives, helpers, construction workers. Black, white, yellow, brown. Rabbis, priests, ministers. Muslim, Jewish, Hindi, Christian, agnostics and atheists.

    We are not the same, we are the same. We believe in equal rights, we believe in fairness and compassion. We believe in a person’s right to decide what happens to and within their bodies and that it is not anyone else’s business.

    And we vote.

    All who believe similarly need to vote for those who will protect our rights and freedom.

    We are millions who (still) have the power.

    Be warned.
