With all those headlines this week about Roe v. Wade and the Supreme Court, you’d think a decision had been handed down. But no, it was just a hearing of the arguments that, supposedly, will factor into the court’s decision: Should Mississippi be allowed to ban all abortions after 15 weeks? We probably won’t know … Continue reading The Roe decision
The US Supreme Court reconvened this week and in the months ahead will render decisions on abortion rights and other topics. There’s a 6-3 conservative majority on the court now, and three of those conservatives were appointed by Donald Trump. Despite recent assurances from some of the justices that they will not be political and … Continue reading Coming soon: law v. politics

Supposedly Alabama’s restrictive new abortion law is intended to get the abortion issue before the now more conservative Supreme Court in an effort to overturn Roe v. Wade. But unless and until that happens, it’s an incredibly cruel, regressive law to impose on the state’s pregnant women and their doctors. Stay pregnant or leave the … Continue reading Back to the Stone Age
