The Majority Rules
What will it take to achieve a society that prioritizes—and achieves—true equality? We are thrilled to present the Winter 2023 installment of Women & Democracy, created in partnership with the leadership of and community at Supermajority Education Fund, to answer that question. We welcome you to explore this artful series featuring the five Majority Rules and the inevitable Super Rule:The lives and experiences of women—particularly women of color—are front and center in addressing all of our nation’s challenges.
Articulating the Majority Rules and the values they reflect—safety, respect, autonomy, full and fair representation—is the first essential step toward achieving gender equality. Immerse yourself in the various videos and essays narrated and penned by leading voices; scroll down for snippets of what our own teams have to say. We look forward to hearing from all of you, too—and to working together to ensure that an equality agenda prevails.
Women & Democracy is our collaborative series, spearheaded by Ms. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR PARTNERSHIPS AND STRATEGY, Jennifer Weiss-Wolf. Each quarter Ms. will publish a new microsite, together with a dedicated partner, that focuses on key issues impacting full and fair representation in our democracy.

This episode: Today, we’re diving into Rule #2, “Our bodies are respected.” In the wake of the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, it seems like our rights to our very own bodies are increasingly under attack. In South Carolina, lawmakers are calling for the execution of women who would have abortions. In Texas, five women are suing the state, individuals who wanted to carry pregnancies to term but their lives became at risk and their doctors were unable to help them fearing criminal punishments and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines. In one of their cases, the woman was not helped in managing her miscarriage until she was septic and near death.
