If SCOTUS restricts medication abortion via telehealth, the impact will be devastating, says ANSIRH's @ushma.bsky.social. "If they do make that decision, it'll be based on politics, not science, not medical evidence. It will impact access in all 50 states."

I haven't been following the birthright citizenship case, but after spending the last year writing about fetal personhood, it strikes me that the right is trying to read birth out of the 14A in both directions. Immigrants born here shouldn't get rights but fetuses not yet born should.
