Lori Lightfoot Tells LGBTQ+ Community , the ‘Supreme Court Is Coming for Us Next’.
'Newsweek' reports that the Chicago mayor took to Twitter on May 9 in response to speculation that the Supreme Court intends to overturn Roe v.
Wade.
Lightfoot thinks that if the landmark
1973 ruling does get thrown out, .
Conservatives will target the LGBTQ+ community next, such as Obergefell v.
Hodges, which
legalized same-sex marriage in 2015.
To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community—the Supreme Court is coming for us next.
This moment has to be a call to arms. We will not surrender our rights without a fight—a fight to victory!, Lori Lightfoot, Chicago mayor, via Twitter.
Lightfoot also announced on May 9 that the city
will give $500,000 to the Chicago Department
of Public Health to help provide abortion access.
.
This includes women's rights, trans rights, immigrant rights and of course the right to same sex and interracial marriage.
We simply cannot stand idly by and let that happen, Lori Lightfoot, via Fox 32.
During an interview with MSNBC, Lightfoot was asked to elaborate on her "call to arms.".
I think everybody who saw that draft opinion has gone through a range of different emotions.
But we can't just be angry.
We've got to be intentional, we've got to be dedicated, Lori Lightfoot, Chicago mayor, via MSNBC.
And that's why I'm calling upon fellow elected officials across the country, and particularly my fellow mayors to join me in making a pledge that we made today, which is a
justice for all pledge.
, Lori Lightfoot, Chicago mayor, via MSNBC.
And fundamentally, it reaffirms Chicago as a welcoming city, a city that doesn't discriminate, and a city that's going to stand with women, Lori Lightfoot, Chicago mayor, via MSNBC

targeted by the NYPD, the patrons began to
fight back by throwing bottles at police.

followed, mobilizing into the

apology for its role in the
riots — and for the laws
that led to them — in 2019

Biden Endorses
Ending Senate Filibuster, to Codify Reproductive Rights.
President Joe Biden made the comment during a press conference in Madrid on June 30.
He referred to the recent Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade as "outrageous behavior.".
We have to codify Roe v. Wade in the law, and the way to do that is to make sure the Congress votes to do that, President Joe Biden, via 'The New York Times'.
And if the filibuster gets in the way, it’s like voting rights, we provide an exception for this, or an exception to the filibuster for this action, President Joe Biden, via 'The New York Times'.
The comment marks just the second time the president has endorsed doing away with the necessary 60 Senate votes to pass a particular piece of legislation.
The first time was in reference to voting rights.
Democrats have so far failed to end the filibuster, with two dissenting votes from Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ).

Biden also referred to the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health decision as "destabilizing.".
It is a mistake, in my view for the Supreme Court to do what it did, President Joe Biden, via 'The New York Times'.
I feel extremely strongly that I’m going to do everything in my power, which I legally can do in terms of executive orders, as well as push the Congress and
the public, President Joe Biden, via 'The New York Times'.
He referred to recent polls that show
the majority of Americans oppose the
Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.
Biden also urged Americans to "vote, vote, vote.".
If the polling data is correct and you think this decision by the court was an outrage or a significant mistake, vote, show up and vote, President Joe Biden, via 'The New York Times'.
Vote in the off-year and vote, vote, vote. That’s how we’ll change it, President Joe Biden, via 'The New York Times'
