Roe at 35

The NYCLU is proud to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Roe v. Wade. For the last 35 years, women across the country have had the constitutionally protected right to make essential determinations about their bodies, their futures and their families.

On this important anniversary, we give our thanks and gratitude to all the women and men who fought for this right. We applaud the brave healthcare providers who ensure that abortion is safe and accessible. And we honor all women and men who have faced decisions about abortion and made the choices that were right for themselves and their families.

Most of all, we vow never to go back -- a world without Roe would not be safe for our sisters, our daughters, our friends.

Join us in fighting to protect reproductive freedom in New York State -- Support the Reproductive Health Act.
