I wrote a whole book about the complexity of the motives behind the overturn of Roe and how misogyny wasn’t the only factor but moments like this make clear IT SURE WAS A BIG ONE

To recap: three GOP-led states that wanted the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade in order to "send abortion back to the states" are now asking the Court to strike down abortion protections in blue states

The Hyde Amendment Turns 50: No One Should Be Forced to Fund Abortion

Since 1976, Congress has renewed one simple principle every year: Americans shouldn't be forced to pay for abortions.

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

My latest @ms.now, on why it‘s not (legally) cruel and unusual for Tennessee to try to execute Christa Pike again, even w all the risks that remain, but also on why Gov. Bill Lee has far more political room to use his clemency than our conventional political narrative suggests.

ms.now

Opinion | Tennessee botched its attempted execution of Christa Pike. It shouldn’t try again.

John Pfaff: Gov. Bill Lee can do what the Supreme Court will not — and prevent a punishment that already feels morally cruel and unusual.

Thanks for linking to my recent @autonomynews.co piece, Madiba! "Like many states, Texas enshrines in its constitution explicit protections for inalienable rights like life and liberty, which reproductive justice advocates are currently using to challenge abortion restrictions in multiple states."

New Lawsuits Argue That Pregnant People Also Have a Right to Life

Lawyers are fighting abortion bans in state court by establishing that pregnant people have a right to life and liberty—or at least self-defense.

As we reported this week at @autonomynews.co: www.autonomynews.co/what-was-thi...

Does Trump actually want criminal investigations of abortion-pill providers? That’s not clear, though plenty of Republicans—including Hawley—do. Other anti-abortion hardliners have been moving into influential positions in the administration, including pro-fetal personhood lawyer Josh Craddock at the DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel and Dr. Heidi Overton, Trump’s new pick to lead the FDA. No one expects any big moves from the administration before the midterms. Then all bets are off.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Making abortion illegal = killing people. That’s it. It’s not more complicated than that. Making health care inaccessible means people die. States that fought the Civil War for the right to own people are now suing so they can own MORE. PEOPLE. It’s state-sanctioned murder and they are FOR it.
