Originally published at: The Supreme Court Didn’t Go Nuclear On Abortion In 2024. It’ll Have Plenty Of Options To In 2025
The Supreme Court punted on the major abortion cases it heard during the term that ended last month. And while the Court’s inaction was initially celebrated, it means we head into the 2024 election with some of the biggest threats to the procedure delayed, but not permanently denied. One case is all but certain to…

Thanks Kate for this well-researched article. I used to be Mark_AZ but the kind folks at TPM allowed me to change my username after moving back to SW Colorado - Boebert Country.
My neighbors were expecting their first child last year. Excited, they went to visit his parents in Texas when she suffered a miscarriage. Unable to receive proper medical care in Texas, they had to take a costly emergency medical flight to Denver which nearly bankrupted them. She survived. The happy ending is that with proper care, she was able to conceive again and they now have their 3 week old child at home. These anti-freedom judicial decisions affect citizens of all states, not just the red ones.

The Democrats need to keep this issue front and center. I know the so called elites in the media don’t think it’s that important but to women, whether they are at child bearing age or not, it is.

I’m astonished they haven’t gone the route of requiring the father’s permission yet.

Regarding these ass-clowns who sued to block the sale of mifepristone because it might endanger their patients, why don’t they also sue the state of Texas (or Idaho) for banning treatment that would save their patients?

Apparently, they care about the one, but not about the other. Fabulous Christians. /s

Well, we are going to use this ballot measure to drive turnout. If it passes, it will enshrine the right to an abortion in the State Constitution.

Speaking of options, will Trump dump his stock next month? Right now it’s at $23.
Trump is stuck with his company’s stock for just one more month, when he is legally allowed to sell his shares without board approval. He can’t try to increase the share price by bragging, as he did with his real estate properties, because that would be illegal. Even though the Supreme Court gave him a break with its immunity ruling, he still needs cash to pay his mounting legal bills. It’s only a matter of time before September arrives and Trump dumps his stock. The question is, how low will the share price be?

making abortions illegal, or severely restricted, does not stop abortions from happening. It just stops safe abortions performed by Physicians from happening.

Federal agencies routinely use unclear or inapposite statutory language
Something they learned from the FedSoc legal apparatus who cleverly craft red state laws \s.

We know the minds of the conservative SCOTUS members. Women are in danger, both in their dignity and body.

Yeah, yeah, $24.01 x 66,000,000 shares. Cost basis $0.00. He’ll make book even if it drops to $12, but red hat fools and dirty money rush in every time it drops.
