from the Ontario Coalition of Rape Crisis Centres (OCRCC):
The U.S. Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022, declaring that the constitutional right to abortion, upheld for nearly half a century, no longer exists.
Ontario Coalition of Rape Crisis Centres (OCRCC) is alarmed by this ruling and its implications. The ruling will bring life-changing repercussions to those living in the United States. Different people and communities – such as racialized, impoverished, young, disabled and 2SLGBTQIA+ people, who already face inequitable access to sexual and reproductive health rights – will experience the impacts of this ruling most acutely.
Most concerning, the ruling will pave the way for expanded opportunities for threats to bodily autonomy.
