The Supreme Court decided to grant Jackson Women’s Health Organization v. Dobbs, which means they will consider a Mississippi abortion ban.

The Supreme Court today dismissed American Medical Association v. Becerra, which means it is now up to the Biden Administration to ensure patients continue to have access to accessible, high-quality reproductive health care through Title X.
And in Edwards v. Vannoy, the Supreme Court ruled if a person was convicted by a non-unanimous jury but is past the direct appeal stage, the person can no longer challenge on that ground — despite SCOTUS recently ruling that such sentences are unconstitutional.
In some good news, the Supreme Court rejected the government’s scarily broad “community caretaking” argument in Caniglia v. Strom.
If the government had won, then law enforcement would have had free rein to break into a person’s home with no warrant and no probable cause.
