“We know Judge Jackson has an impeccable record as a fair, knowledgeable and empathetic jurist who evaluates the law holistically to make the justice system more accessible for those it serves,” NOW President Christian F. Nunes said in a statement.
On “Roe Day,” we need to recommit to electing lawmakers who will defend abortion rights in Washington and the states. In 2022, we need to vote for women’s lives. Our goal is to elect a 60-vote abortion rights majority in the Senate and flip state legislatures that are currently held by the narrowest of margins.
Christian Nunes, president of the National Organization of Women, told Al Jazeera: “I am really concerned about where we are going to go, especially with how the courts are stacked right now.”
“It’s disheartening to hear that the U.S. wants to advocate or comment about other countries and how they treat women, but yet here we are trying to control a person’s decision about their own reproductive care and access,” says NOW’s Nunes. “We have to think deeper about how we’re looking as a country.”
