The Stop Project 2025 Taskforce (16 US reps) is now asking for an ethics investigation into a current FCC commissioner who contributed to Project 2025: huffman.house.gov/imo/media/do...

I think that all the headlines calling the GOP platform "moderate" on abortion when it advocates for fetal personhood under the 14th Amendment are the thing that will truly push me over the edge

did anyone catch the protest-bashing line in gorsuch's homelessness decision? "It makes no difference whether the defendant is a person experiencing homelessness, on vacation, or a student who abandons his dorm room to camp out in protest on the lawn of a municipal building"

1/ Yesterday's Supreme Court ruling allows Idaho doctors to provide emergency abortions—for now—but litigation will continue. @garnethenderson.bsky.social explains: rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/06/27/s...

Supreme Court Rules Idaho Doctors Can Provide Emergency Abortions—For Nowrewirenewsgroup.com The Idaho v. United States decision allows a district court injunction against full enforcement of Idaho's abortion ban to go back into effect, but also allows the legal battle to continue.

I trust all of @garnethenderson.bsky.social's reporting. But especially reproductive rights reporting where she has deep expertise. And, anything Idaho, always. :)

The rumors (read: accidental Supreme Court leaks) are true. Idaho doctors will be allowed to provide emergency abortions—for now—but litigation will continue. What you need to know: rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/06/27/s...

More details out now via Bloomberg, though imo they should be embedding the document in the story. It's apparently a 6-3 ruling with Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch dissenting. It would allow doctors in Idaho to provide emergency abortion *while litigation continues.*

Bloomberg reports that the EMTALA opinion was accidentally posted on the Supreme Court's website today and then removed. If that's indeed the final opinion the case will be dismissed and the lower court's ruling, allowing doctors to provide abortions in emergencies, will stand.

The Dominican Republic's senate has approved first reading of a new penal code that maintains full criminalization of abortion, without exceptions. In February, a senatorial aide named Adilka Feliz died after being denied an abortion.

I'm a broken record on this, but it's journalistic malpractice to credulously report that Trump wants to "leave abortion to the states" as if that means average voters will get a say in abortion policy. Everywhere abortion is on the ballot, the GOP is trying to block the vote.

Why didn’t the Comstock repeal bill go all the way? A source tells me the Biden DOJ claimed broad “obscenity” language is essential to its prosecutions of child sexuality abuse material. DOJ decline to provide me with an example. Learn more: rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/06/25/a...

A Bill to Undo the Comstock Act Is Finally Here. Why Isn't a Full Repeal?rewirenewsgroup.com The Department of Justice insisted broad "obscenity" language is necessary to prosecute child sexual abuse material, a source tells Rewire News Group.

Launching a campaign called “abortion access now” with zero details about the “now” part is a pretty elite troll if you really think about it

It's been two years since Dobbs, I'm tired, and everyone who does direct abortion provision and support work is even MORE tired. That's kind of all I have to say

No EMTALA opinion today, again. At present the only decision day scheduled for next week is Wednesday, but Monday is a conference day, and more opinion days will likely be announced then. There is also the unfortunate possibility that the court could extend the term into July 🫠

Somewhat surprisingly, the Supreme Court has rejected a challenge to a federal law that prevents domestic abusers from possessing guns. Clarence Thomas has the lone dissent

Supreme Court opinions at 10am

Congressional Democrats have introduced a bill that they are characterizing as a Comstock repeal. But as reported prior to the bill’s introduction, it is not a full repeal but a piecemeal effort. I’m looking into it, more to come

New today: Power to Decide reports that the Abortion Finder website has seen more than eight million visits since Roe was overturned nearly two years ago.

This is so cool but I feel like what a lot of people need is help paying their electric bills

“Who qualifies? Any individual with a gross monthly income under $3,035. For a four-person household, the maximum gross monthly income to qualify is $4,904…. the units are available first come, first served—so don’t wait to apply.”

It’s about to get hot. Some New Yorkers may qualify for a free air conditioner.gothamist.com People who earn under $3,035 in gross monthly income and households with people with medical conditions exacerbated by heat are among those who may qualify.

1/6 Last week, lawmakers in Brazil introduced a bill that would designate abortions after 22 weeks as murder, with no exceptions. The law would carry penalties of up to 20 years in prison for providers and pregnant people.

Hoooraay I just learned that The Originalism Trap has sold over a thousand copies so far 😀😭 Not too shabby for a non-famous debut author whose book just came out two weeks ago, I think 😇 Thank you to everyone who has gotten my book & spread the word! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/735353...

Democrats Begin Their Offensive Against the Comstock Actwww.notus.org After months of stalling, the fight is on to modify a 19th-century law that could end up banning abortion nationwide.

Unfortunately, today's Supreme Court decision is not the end of the legal battle over abortion pills, and it may not even be the end of this specific case. Me for @rewirenewsgroup.bsky.social: rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/06/13/m...

Mifepristone Is Safe for Now—but Comstock Is Waiting in the Wingsrewirenewsgroup.com We need to prepare for the possibility of misoprostol-only abortions in the near future, and a national abortion ban in the long term.

Per usual a lot of coverage of this case is missing some very important facts. It was not dismissed, it is not dead bsky.app/profile/garn...

Before you get too excited: This legal battle is still fully in play as three states have been granted the right to intervene in the case. The Supreme Court may well in the future decide that they DO have standing

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has ruled that anti-abortion doctors don’t have standing to sue the FDA over the approval of mifepristone, one of the drugs used in medication abortion.
