This country has reached a crisis point for women's constitutional rights to control their own bodies and their own reproductive choices.

We need to know what is going on in the court system.

If you cut off that avenue, which is what forced arbitration, in my view, is principally designed to do, that is going to result in a massive transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich, and that is exactly what we see happening.
