Nor was the news on Wednesday that the Senate voted down a key bill that would have preserved abortion access across the US. Grassroots feminist organizations, especially those led by women of color, Indigenous women and other historically marginalized communities, have been warning us of this day for decades . With few clinics and ever mounting bans and restrictions, abortion access is still legal yet out of reach." The fact is, even with Roe versus Wade intact, abortion had become increasingly inaccessible for many women, particularly poor women, women of color and those who live in rural areas. The threats, in their source and nature, are always changing and we need feminist organizations that are resilient and able to change too.
