Fascist Judges: Keep Your Hands off Abortion Medication!
As early as Feb 24th, a federal judge could revoke the FDA's approval of mifepristone, effectively banning its use nationwide.

Last summer, the illegitimate fascist-packed Supreme Court revoked the constitutional protection for the right to abortion. Overnight, women in every part of this country were turned into second class citizens in the eyes of the law. This is being felt most harshly by the millions of women in the 14 states where abortion has been banned. But this rendering of women as second class citizens is no less true in the states where abortion is still legal. It is just that they haven't been hit directly yet. But that could change soon...

Right now, a Trump-appointed federal judge in Texas, Matthew Kacsmaryk, is being asked to withdraw the FDA's approval for mifepristone, one of the pills used in the medication abortion regimen. Absent major public outcry, such a decision would likely be upheld by the Supreme Court.
..

Will you silently adjust to another leap in the Christian fascist drive to force women back into open patriarchal subordination to men by using the state to force them to have children against their will?

Will you comfort yourself in this acquiescence with the misplaced hope that this assault will stop here? They won't!

Or will you resist?

As we wrote in our founding statement, “The violent subjugation of half of society must not be accommodated, excused, downplayed, or surrendered to. IT MUST BE STOPPED!”

On February 24 the day that all the final paperwork is due in the case that will determine whether mifepristone stays available nationwide, raise the Green Bandana of abortion rights that was first popularized by the courageous women of Latin America. Bring signs and banners that declare:

FORCED MOTHERHOOD = FEMALE ENSLAVEMENT!
LEGAL ABORTION ON DEMAND AND WITHOUT APOLOGY EVERYWHERE!
RISE UP 4 ABORTION RIGHTS!
