“The Supreme Court has just plunged this country and itself into a historic crisis, one that will reverberate far beyond the ability to get an abortion. Forcing people to carry pregnancies against their will is just the beginning. The same politicians seeking to control the bodies of women and pregnant people will stop at nothing to challenge our right to use birth control, the right to marry whom you love, and even the right to vote. No right or liberty is secure in the face of a Supreme Court that would reverse Roe.” Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, June 24, 2022
On June 24, the Supreme Court of the United States delivered a resounding “Fuck You” to the civil liberties, reproductive freedom, and bodily autonomy of the people of this country. This photograph of a modified judge’s gavel is my response to the supreme court, returning the sentiment.
