Now is not the time to relent - we must increase demands for action on reproductive freedom

WoLF stance on abortion has always been clear. From our founding ten years ago, we have unapologetically defended women’s reproductive freedom. This information is readily available across our website.

WoLF Executive Director Sharon Byrne shares a letter following her first week on the frontlines of feminism. Join Sharon and the WoLF community to restore, protect, and advance the rights of women and girls!

We must recognize the female class, and we must recognize issues that impact the female class as disasters in their own right—not as prologues to real trouble for other, real people. Only by naming the issue and uniting as a cohesive class can we begin to work together towards a solution.

Last week I was in Washington, DC to rally for women’s sports on the anniversary of Title IX. When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on the following day, I was presented with another opportunity to stand up for women’s rights: protesting at the Supreme Court just hours after this devastating ruling.

WoLF unapologetically supports reproductive freedom for women. Reproductive freedom includes, but is not limited to, women’s rights to abortion and birth control for any reason, and freedom from coerced sterilization, abortion, and birth control.

When Justice Blackmun originally wrote the opinion on Roe v. Wade in 1973, it set a federal precedent that the right to abortion was included in a woman’s constitutionally protected right to privacy.
