Statement on the Supreme Court ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson

While today is a dark day, it is a clarion call for all those who care about building a more equitable and just society.

June 24, 2022

Today is a shameful day for the meaning of justice in our country. The Supreme Court's reactionary supermajority's ideological agenda to dismantle the right to choose safe and legal abortion harms everyone, but disproportionally harms minorities and low-income people. As the Dobbs dissent explained, today's decision was based on "power, not reason" or law. This misguided judicial activism took away reproductive rights from those who were not represented when our Constitution was drafted and ratified. Nor is this the end of the conservative justices' ideological campaign: next week, they could eviscerate the federal government's ability to protect other liberties and fundamental rights, including our right to a healthy planet, and clean air, water, and food.

While today is a dark day, it is a clarion call for all those who care about building a more equitable and just society. From consumers' right to know what's in their food to farmworkers' rights to protection against toxic chemicals, we at Center for Food Safety have always fought for the right of all people to make safe choices for themselves. We stand in solidarity with our partners across the movement to fight the erosion of our reproductive rights, and will continue to give our all to protect the right of all species to a healthy food system and thriving planet.
