Abortion is Healthcare. Healthcare is a Right.

In May 2022, a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion authored by Justice Samuel Alito revealed the Court's intention to reverse the longstanding Roe v. Wade decision, jeopardizing federal protections of reproductive healthcare. In June, the Supreme Court officially overturned the landmark ruling, sparking widespread demonstrations across the country. Despite the ruling, Chicago - and Illinois at large - remain committed to the belief that healthcare is a fundamental right.

The decision to reverse Roe highlights the need for local and state-level initiatives to protect reproductive healthcare access and ensure that individuals have the resources necessary to make informed decisions about their health. While the long-term implications of the Court's decision remain uncertain, these photos serve as a reminder that the fight for healthcare equity and justice is ongoing.
