#BreakingNews: The U.S. Supreme Court has for the second time declined to temporarily halt #Texas' 6-week abortion ban while its legality is litigated.
Before the law went into effect on September 1, 2021, the Center for Reproductive Rights and their partners filed a lawsuit, which the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals intervened in and ruled for the law to go into effect.
At that point, the pro-choice coalition filed an emergency appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, but the court denied the appeal. Today, the Supreme Court denied a second request, but this time the request came from the Department of Justice.

It’s easy to forget, or perhaps many haven’t learned, that less than 150 years ago, the now polarizing hot-button issue of #abortion was a widely accepted part of life in the U.S. In fact abortion “is absolutely traditional, it is sacred,” says Rachael Lorenzo (pictured left).
“Our ancestors have been having abortions and controlling our fertility since time immemorial, since our Creator put us where we are today. And whether it was drought or famine or war or whatever, we have been controlling our fertility.” -- Rachel Lorenzo
Lorenzo, who is Mescalero Apache, Laguna Pueblo, and Xicana, is a queer parent of two. One of the main motivations for them in creating reproductive health and justice center Indigenous Women Rising, was to make "space for us to tell our own stories on our own terms."

Political prisoner #EricKing has his first evidentiary hearing this morning in #Colorado Federal Court for a charge while in prison for allegedly "assaulting" a Bureau of Prisons officer in 2018. According to King, he was the one who was assaulted that day by a prison guard.
Presiding Judge William J. Martinez made a motion prior to the hearing that it would be closed to the public because the court "became aware of information which causes it to be concerned of a potential disruption of the hearing."
The Judge admitted on record that U.S. Marshals and others looked at social media accounts and saw discussions that people were going to be at the hearing. He didn't share specific details or say if there was talk of a "disruption" on social media.
