One after another, states are quickly moving to ban abortion. Your state could be next.
Some states *cough* Ohio *cough* are trying to get creative with their oppression, ultimately forcing the closure of all abortion clinics that service the southwest part of the state.

Others are just going straight for it all, constitution be damned.

So here we are. The United States without the right to abortion. One of the only so-called “developed” nations without this internationally protected human right. A map of the contiguous United States with Alaska and Hawaii

Ahead of Supreme Court decisions in the two biggest abortion cases since #RoeVWade, the future looks pretty grim. But it doesn’t have to. And one state is giving us a blueprint to what a pro-abortion United States could look like.

plannedparenthoodaction.org/uploads/filer_…
This week the California Future of Abortion Council released a list of 45 recommendations, backed by abortion providers and advocacy organizations like @PPActionCA.

And this plan has legs—@CAgovernor @GavinNewsom and state @SenToniAtkins have voiced their support for these recommendations and could get the executive and legislative branches behind them.

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.
