Mifepristone access is headed back to the Supreme Court, and so are we ⚖️
Today, NCJW led 50+ faith organizations in an amicus brief to the Supreme Court to say: protecting religious freedom means preserving access to medication abortion — and that includes mifepristone.

We’re experiencing a page right out of the religious right’s playbook with their latest legal attacks on mifepristone access. We won’t let Christian nationalism dictate our faith, our rights, or our control over our own bodies.
