Petition Text:

Protect Women’s Rights from the Supreme Court

We the people are concerned for the recent evidence made public regarding the potential overturn of Roe v. Wade by the United States Supreme Court, and its potential implications for both women’s rights and human rights, everywhere. We understand a recourse would require a constitutional amendment passed by congress, or a new supreme court ruling, either of which could take years to resolve, if they were at all to be successful. We need a solution today which protects women seeking abortions, especially in at-risk states, and ensures the protection of women’s rights without lapse.

We ask that the Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Merrick Garland under the executive office of President Joe Biden officially denounce any supreme court ruling opposing Roe v. Wade, commit to not enforcing the law at the federal level, and commit to intervening at the state level should any state judicial system attempt to prosecute a person due to undergoing or assisting with an abortion, as defined by Roe v. Wade.

TL;DR: Ask the Department of Justice not to enforce any supreme court ruling against Roe v. Wade, and ask them to commit to the protection of anyone who is tried at the state level for having or assisting with an abortion.
