3/ We've seen SCOTUS pull switcheroos before (looking at you, Dobbs). Could they use this case to push fetal "personhood"? With at least 3 justices already “personhood”-curious, who knows? We might get answers as early as next week. Stay tuned. rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/09/25/s...
Could Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch convince another justice to hear an IVF case out of Alabama?
2/ Plot twist: The fertility clinics are actually asking SCOTUS to step in, claiming their due process rights were violated. It’s a bold but risky move. It could backfire if the Court decides to focus on the embryos' rights instead, @hegemommy.bsky.social writes in The Fallout.
4/ Kamala Harris' campaign rallies center on "freedom," focusing on reproductive rights. To ensure national reproductive freedom, her government must place a high priority on equal access to abortion services and move beyond the Roe framework. rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/09/23/h...
A college student's step-by-step guide to five policies Harris could use to protect and progress reproductive rights.
3/ Other key policies Harris should support: expanding access to abortion pills, data privacy protections, countering deceptive “crisis pregnancy centers” (CPCs), and repealing the Hyde Amendment and the Comstock Act.
2/ Codifying abortion rights into federal law is crucial, and Harris must fight to get it done. But this will require a Democratic majority in Congress and possibly suspending the filibuster, a challenge she must be prepared to tackle.
2/ The Trump campaign may have not produced Project 2025, but he implemented nearly 2/3 of the Heritage Foundation’s recommendations in the first year of his term. Even though Project 2025’s director stepped down, the mission to reshape the government remains.
2/ Two years later, @garnethenderson revisited the bold abortion care ideas that worked out—and the ones that fell apart. Are people really accessing abortion by boat, mobile clinic, or private plane? Read to find out: rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/09/18/w...
There were many grand ideas about how to connect people to abortion care after the fall of Roe v. Wade. Not all of them panned out.
4/ Here’s a thought: Maybe stop treating Southern advocates like clueless charity cases, Morcelle writes. They’ve been leading movements for decades. As Fannie Lou Hamer said, “nobody’s free until everybody’s free”—so maybe it’s time everyone caught up. rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/09/17/w...
The people closest to the problems are often closest to the solutions—that includes Southern advocates fighting for sexual and reproductive health.
3/ Morcelle saw the same toxic power dynamic play out when she began working in reproductive rights. For example, post-Dobbs, she saw national groups push their own agendas while others said the South deserves what it gets for being “backward.”
2/ Five years ago, after ICE arrested 680 workers in Mississippi, Morcelle watched national groups swoop in “to help”—by basically telling local leaders to follow or get out of the way. These national partners waltzed in with a "we must save the South from itself" mentality.
