In all of their briefs they claim that abortion is essential to women\u2019s equality and their equal dignity. Ladies, this is us that they\u2019re talking about.<\/em><\/p>\n

Women\u2019s equal dignity, they claim, “demands that women have the right to decide whether to continue a pregnancy.” They go so far in their briefs to claim that “[women] would not have been able to achieve the personal or professional successes they achieve were it not for their ability to attain safe and legal abortions.”<\/em><\/p>\n
