The leaked draft of the Supreme Court opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson, a case primed from the outset to overturn Roe, must be a wake-up call. We’re at a dangerous, unprecedented moment. This court is the most extreme and out-of-step in decades, and they have shown us where they want to go on abortion rights. But it is important to note that, for now, abortion remains legal.

This leaked ruling is outrageous and it is dangerous for women and all LGBTQ+ people – including queer people, many non-binary people, and transgender men, who need access to reproductive health care. And we know that all of our rights are now on the line.

Many are wondering what this decision means for more recent victories won in the courts for LGBTQ+ people. I understand that feeling. I feel it too. If Roe is overturned, there is no immediate impact on any other case decided by the Supreme Court including Lawrence and Obergefell. But it encourages state lawmakers pandering to the base to test the limits of court recognized LGBTQ+ equality.

What we need now is outrage, anger, and action for those among our community who are about to see the most destructive attack on our civil rights in a generation. We will fight back.
