Civil Rights Organizations Amicus Brief
- Amici are Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law, Leadership Conference, and other civil rights organizations.
- These organizations argue that the Supreme Court’s abortion precedent affords substantial weight to the real-world circumstances of women affected by abortion restrictions. In evaluating Act 620, the Supreme Court should consider how it affects the real-life circumstances of women – particularly black women.
- The organizations also argue that Act 620 would exacerbate structural economic barriers faced by low-income black women in Louisiana.
