The GOP’s hypocritical pro-IVF/anti-abortion catch-22

The GOP’s hypocritical pro-IVF/anti-abortion catch-22

One cannot truly care about reproductive health and treat IVF and abortion as distinct.

Can states prevent doctors from giving emergency abortions, even if federal law requires them to do...

EMTALA requires hospitals to provide stabilizing treatment to all patients – but Idaho is arguing that its abortion ban means it doesn’t have to allow the procedure, even if it is medically needed.

Sharing our third oped on the Alabama ruling. Lawmakers rushed to protect IVF in Alabama—Why wasn’t abortion afforded the same urgency? bmj.com/content/384/bmj.q581 @gwlaw @gwhealthlaw @NaomiCahn

Women in Texas and in other states with abortion bans are suing, asking for clarification on when medical exceptions could actually be granted.

This is really interesting. For so long, Thomas, as the only Black person on the Court, has gotten to frame race issues for his colleagues with very little pushback. With KBJ on the Court, there's a competing voice and perspective on race. And he has to respond to her views.
