The arguments put forth by Thurgood Marshall in opposition to segregation of schools, based on the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, apply to abortion bans because these laws deny women equal treatment under the law.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.


Females capable of becoming pregnant are "persons born" and are entitled to "equal protection of the laws". Fetuses are not yet born and are not entitled to better protection of the laws than women and girls.

The Extreme Court, via the Subversive 6, got it wrong and must be corrected.

Roe, Roe, Roe your vote
against theocracy!
Republicans revoke your rights
and kill democracy!

THESE are the races that will determine control of the House of Representatives:
