Abstract

Last week, a leaked draft Supreme Court opinion showed that the Court is likely to overturn Roe v. Wade, removing the right to an abortion in the United States. Keith Magee argues that the move, which will have the largest negative impact on poor Black women, may signal that other civil rights, such as same-sex marriage and contraception are also now under threat. He writes that those campaigning for reproductive rights should also march for LGBTQ+, Black, and brown people and other marginalised communities whose rights may now be under threat.
