UltraViolet on Justice Kennedy’s Retirement from the Supreme Court
Group Says Kennedy’s Retirement, Yesterday’s Decision in NIFLA v. Becerra Shows Women’s Fundamental Rights Are in Critical Danger
Statement from Shaunna Thomas, co-founder of UltraViolet, a national women’s advocacy organization:
“Between yesterday’s Supreme Court decision allowing sham abortion clinics to lie to women and today’s announcement of Justice Kennedy’s retirement – it is now clear that a women’s fundamental right to control her body and her life is in critical danger from all branches of the Federal Government. This is a five-alarm threat to our dignity and self-determination.”
