Christian F. Nunes, president of National Organization for Women (NOW), the largest organization of feminist grassroots activists in the U.S., draws connections between the issues as well. “Historically, the wellbeing and support for child-rearing has fallen under the responsibility of women,” she tells Yahoo Life. “The right for a woman to decide what is happening in her body, the ability to have access to baby formula to raise her child, and the peace of mind she has when she sends her child to school have all been politicized and jeopardized. This harmful situation not only hinders women’s freedoms, but it harms our next generation of children the most.”

“NOW members are outraged, energized, and ready to fight back,” National NOW President Christian Nunes said in a statement. “The Supreme Court’s decision will jeopardize women’s lives – particularly the lives of young Black, Latinas, Indigenous and economically insecure women who are most at risk. Now it’s up to us to vote for women’s lives.”
