A majority of justices seems likely to uphold Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban.

It would represent a major weakening of Roe v. Wade.

Read the full analysis of today's oral arguments from @shefalil:
19thnews.org/2021/12/suprem…
The court’s three liberal justices — Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan — indicated they were skeptical that the Mississippi law should be upheld. 19thnews.org/2021/12/suprem…
Justice Amy Coney Barrett pointed to laws that allow people to terminate parental rights, and suggested that unintended pregnancy is no longer a great barrier for people because they can turn to adoption services. 19thnews.org/2021/12/suprem…

The Supreme Court is hearing arguments this fall over the constitutionality of Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban.

Some states are moving forward with even tighter restrictions, with a growing list banning abortion after six weeks. 🧵bit.ly/3uVmvsq What six-week abortion bans really mean, The 19th reports.
In May, Texas became the latest state to pass a six-week abortion ban.

In total, 13 states have passed these bans: Idaho, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa, Missouri, Louisiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, South Carolina and Georgia. bit.ly/3uVmvsq
The six-week abortion bans directly violate Roe v. Wade, which guarantees the right to terminate a pregnancy up until the fetus can independently live outside the womb, usually around 23 weeks of pregnancy. bit.ly/3uVmvsq

The April #JobsReport is out.

- 165,000 women left the workforce, meaning they stopped looking for work altogether
- 355,000 men joined the workforce
- The U.S. economy is still short about 2 million women workers.

Here’s what else the report shows: 🧵bit.ly/2PYsPRz
Unemployment rates continue to be higher for women of color.

- 8.6% for Black women
- 7.5% for Latinas
- 4.8% for White women

Black men have the highest unemployment rate of any racial group at 10.2 percent. bit.ly/2PYsPRz
The economy overall added 266,000 net jobs — far below projections that April would see nearly a million net jobs added.

Of those added, 161,000 jobs were held by women, thanks in part to job increases in the women-dominated hospitality industry. bit.ly/2PYsPRz

Today marks #MomsEqualPayDay, or how far into the year the average working mom has to work to earn what fathers earned last year alone.

Mothers are paid $0.75 for every dollar paid to fathers, totaling in annual losses of $15,000+, per new @nwlc analysis. cnbc.com/2021/05/05/ful…
For mothers of color, the pay gap increases.
“We know that about one in four women who are unemployed right now have been looking for work for a year ... just imagine what that $15,000 ... could do if you had that sitting in the bank because you were paid what you were owed before this all happened.” cnbc.com/2021/05/05/ful…
