Once you’re an icon and you’re over 90, numbers don’t matter, do they?

After a bout in the hospital, Pat’s back home and doing very well, though like the rest of us, she’s alarmed about the proliferation of the “heartbeat” anti-abortion laws recently passed in so many states.

Pat and the Army of Three demanded abortion without limitation, just like any other medical procedure, and she was always concerned that Roe was not strong enough to withstand legal challenges. Nearly 50 years later, her worries are sadly well founded, as we see more and more GOP-led states passing outrageous unconstitutional legislation to challenge Roe in the newly rightward-packed Supreme Court.

Earlier this year, Lili Loofbourow wrote a fantastic history of Pat and the Army of Three for Slate that gives a clear picture of what’s at stake now, at this moment when our abortion rights are in greater danger than ever before. It takes a bunch of angry women joining together to make history. Let’s get inspiration from the article here, stand up, speak out, organize, and fight back for our rights!
