Abortion The Resistance's Zero Hour

Pamela Merritt, executive director of Medical Students for Choice, sits in her living room in southern Illinois on Monday, April 11, 2022. She is holding an illustration created by a former coworker, Caitlin Blunnie, which includes one of Merritt's favorite rallying cries: "When they go low, we organize!" Merritt considers access to abortion a civil rights issue — and vows to fight to help maintain that access if the U.S. Supreme Court upholds Mississippi's ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Whatever that decision is, Merritt says, "There's an active, organized crew of people who are going to do what it takes to try and make sure that people aren't denied their bodily autonomy and it's not a march, it's not a rally, it's not a chant. It's different, and in many ways it does resemble some of the resistance work that took place in the late 60s, early 70s." (AP Photo/Martha Irvine)
