Womxn’s March Denver statement on Dobbs V. Jackson We cannot and will not find the right words to express our emotions of horror and grief. It is important to remember that abortion healthcare is protected in Colorado. Our hearts go out to every person who is dealing with the trauma of enduring this misogynistic SCOTUS opinion and the ramifications it will have on our communities, ourselves included. As volunteers, we spend our free time advocating for the rights of all. Over time, we have seen progress and regress, but losing the right to sexual autonomy and reproductive freedom is devastating to all human dignity. The SCOTUS decision is an affront to the efforts of activists who have fought for over 50 years to protect our rights. Abortion is essential health care. Our rage demands justice and we will not back down until the extreme patriarchal institutions that have regulated our bodies finally see a reckoning. We continue the story of revolution, and we will continue the fight to codify essential reproductive healthcare.
No podemos ni podremos encontrar las palabras adecuadas para expresar nuestros sentimientos de horror y dolor. Es importante recordar que en Colorado la asistencia medica para abortos está protegida. Nuestros sentimientos estan con toda aquella persona que esta lidiando con el trauma de esta decisión misógena de la Corte Suprema de Justicia y las ramificaciones que tendrá en nuestras comunidades, nosotras mismas incluidas. Como voluntarios pasamos nuestro tiempo libre defendiendo los derechos de todos. A través de los años hemos visto progreso y retroceso, pero la pérdida del derecho a la autonomia sexual y libertad reproductiva es devastadora para la dignidad humana. La decision de la Corte Suprema de Justicia es un insulto a los esfuerzos de los activistas que han luchado por 50 años para proteger nuestros derechos. El aborto es parte del sistema de salud. Nuestra furia demanda justicia y no nos detrendemos hasta que el sistema de instituciones patriarcales extremas que han regulado nuestros cuerpos finalmente de cuentas. Continuamos la historia de la revolución y continuaremos la lucha para codificar salud reproductiva esencial.
