SCOTUS set to overturn Roe and Casey

The leopard would never eat MY face.

Fails and Crain believed abortion was morally wrong. The teen could only support it in the context of rape or life-threatening illness, she used to tell her mother. They didn’t care whether the government banned it, just how their Christian faith guided their own actions.

Been saying that for ages. The race angle is just how they sell it. Anyone with more brain cells than a MAGA/NatC and able to look at data... would realize that forced-birth policies will result in a lot more black and latino babies than white babies.

Unplanned parenthood may take some or all of a person out of the workforce, but it increases the desperation for income for those supporting that person. Keeping people in debt, and trapped in shit jobs for the income security. And as the population grows, job competition makes it an employer's market, with more desperate unemployed people willing to take lower pay for any kind of job at all.

Religions are all too happy to push that message too because more desperation drives people to faith, or at least communities of faith, for support and solace. And of course, once they're embedded in the community, they're obligated to tithe.

It's always about money. More cheap labor for the rich, more tithing seats filled in the church... and fuck the kids who'll grow up and be jobless because automation and AI have closed off entire job sectors.

Timing.

The Government’s Website on Reproductive Rights Is Gone: Here’s an Important Fact Sheet

Within hours of Donald Trump assuming the presidency, the federal government’s official website on navigating reproductive rights without Roe v. Wade disappeared. The site, reproductiverights.gov, once functioned as a Know Your Rights fact sheet: “Reproductive health care, including access to birth control and safe and legal abortion care, is an essential part of your health and well-being,” a statement on the now-defunct page read, according to CBS News. “While Roe was overturned, abortion remains legal in many states, and other reproductive health care services remain protected by law.” The webpage also offered information about medication abortion, which “has been approved by the FDA and is safe and effective when used correctly.”

The Biden administration first rolled out the webpage in 2022 after the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health ruling. It served as a basic primer for understanding the incredibly complex, constantly changing legal landscape surrounding reproductive rights post-Dobbs.

It’s now scrubbed from the internet.

"not a ban" -- uh huh, yeah, right.

"not a ban" -- uh huh, yeah, right.

Given that the GOP has both houses of congress and the presidency and the supreme court, I'd honestly be quite shocked if there isn't a federal abortion ban kind of soon despite the condescending reassurances from some conservatives I know that wouldn't happen.

Trump pardons anti-abortion protesters a day before annual March for Life rally

The pardons come on the eve of the annual March for Life along the National Mall, where Trump is expected to address the crowd virtually.

www.nbcnews.com

President Donald Trump signed an executive order pardoning 23 anti-abortion-rights activists Thursday, one day before he is expected to address thousands of anti-abortion-rights demonstrators at their annual march in Washington.

“Twenty-three people were prosecuted, they should not have been prosecuted,” Trump said at the Oval Office signing ceremony Thursday, noting that “many of them” are elderly. “This is a great honor to sign. They will be very happy.”

New York's shield law was created to protect from that, and this is the first case going up against it. The link I provided details the legal questions that must be responded to as it works its way through the judicial system. Principally:

“The first question is going to be, is writing a prescription practicing medicine? And if it is, then I think the law clearly prohibits anybody from doing it in a state that they’re not licensed in,” said Chesworth.
Chesworth said there’s a second question that will come into play.
“Can a doctor write a prescription for a patient who is not a resident of the state where the doctor is licensed?” said Chesworth.

If the doctor can't, then people travelling out-of-state had better hope they don't fall ill or need medical attention for whatever reason, as had tourists and other visitors to the US.

Can a doctor write a prescription for a patient who is not a resident of the state where the doctor is licensed?

An MD can prescribe and call in a RX to a different state in which they are not licensed in, providing that the pharmacist determines in "good faith" that there exists a patient /physician relationship and that the MD is qualified to prescribe that certain medication.
