Supreme Court,Fundamental Rights,Far-Right Movement

A growing far-right movement aims to attack fundamental rights through a constitutional convention, potentially leading to harmful amendments and the erosion of rights such as abortion access, Medicaid funding, voting rights, birthright citizenship, and the popular election of senators.

The Supreme Court has taken away a fundamental right, and now there is a growing far-right movement that aims to further attack fundamental rights through a constitutional convention. This movement could lead to harmful amendments such as a national abortion ban or the end of Medicaid funding.

It could also repeal our right to vote, end birthright citizenship, and eliminate the popular election of senators.
