Roberts is now asking the civ pro question.

Basically Mississippi asked for the law to bye analyzed under current law in its cert petition and then in its merits brief was like, well actually can you just overturn Roe and Casey.

THIS IS UNUSUAL.
Usually if a litigant wants to overturn precedent, they SPECIFICALLY ask the Supreme Court to do that in their cert petition.

You can't say you want the Court to answer one question and then switch when they decide to take the case.

it's procedurally improper.
But Roberts doesn't seem to care much. @Hegemommy has been saying for YEEEEAAARS that Roberts is no friend to abortion.

He's showing his hand here.

We told y'all not to get too excited about his June Medical Services opinion.

Stewart really doesn't like Casey. He says that Casey failed and is not a hallmark of this courts precedent.

Breyer presses him: You accept the stare decisis standards for deciding whether to overturn a case like Roe and you think those standards have been met?
Sotomayor pushes back on the idea that Casey failed: What hasn't been at issue for the last30 years is the linecasey drew at viability. The right of a woman to control her own body has been clearly set since Casey and never challenged.

Hi folks! @AngryBlackLady here. Are you ready for this? I'm not sure I am.

But it's happening, so let's ride.
Here we go!

Arguing for Mississippi is Scott Stewart.

He starts off with a lot of overwrought nonsense about how Roe "haunts this country."
"Abortion is a hard issue. It demands the best from all of us not a judgment from just a few of us."

The issue doesn't effect EVERYONE. It effects PEOPLE CAPABLE OF BEING PREGNANT.

It doesn't affect you, Solicitor General Stewart.

Happy Friday to everyone, especially @GovKathyHochul, who announced a new agenda this week aimed at protecting and expanding abortion access for New Yorkers in response to Texas #SB8 and other anti-abortion laws across the country.
"Abortion access is safe in New York—the rights of those who are seeking abortion services will always be protected here …

To the women of Texas, I want to say I am with you. Lady Liberty is here to welcome you with open arms." —@GovKathyHochul
Here’s a quick look at what’s on that agenda:
👩‍⚕️launching a public information campaign to address patient rights
💻 expanding access to telemedicine abortion
🙅‍♀️ urging Facebook to combat misinformation about abortion.

Did you know only 31% of state legislative seats are held by women—and just 4.82% are Black women?

The very nature of our state legislatures seems designed to incentivize already-privileged people to hold state elected office, @KellyBaden writes.

rewirenewsgroup.com/article/2021/0…
After Texas enacted its extreme abortion ban, states like Arkansas, North and South Dakota, and Florida are considering similar legislation.

What else do these states have in common?

rewirenewsgroup.com/article/2021/0…
Each is a part-time or hybrid legislature.

Arkansas legislators are 89% white and 76% male.

North Dakota’s legislature is 98% white and 79% male.

If you’ve been following us here at Rewire News Group, you know that we are positively losing it about Texas #SB8, the 6-week (previability) abortion ban set to go into effect in one week.

Well, we’ve got some news on that front so strap in.
We’ve explained in previous threads that #SB8 is utterly bonkers because it deputizes private citizens to enforce the law by snitching on abortion providers and abortion “aiders and abetters.”

Here's one such thread:
Well we’ve got some exciting news on the “challenging this bonkers law” front.

On Monday, the lawyer who won a settlement for gymnasts abused by Team USA doctor Larry Nassar—her name is Michelle Simpson Tuegel—filed a lawsuit.

And we love it because it’s a very smart lawsuit.
