The Supreme Court took another abortion case, but the real threat is the media narrative. SCOTUS will likely swat the sham lawsuit away on standing grounds, earning it headlines about “protecting abortion.” But it won’t change the fact that a GOP president could still enact a national ban in 2025
Experts think SCOTUS will rule against a challenge to mifepristone—which could trick voters into believing they “protected abortion” in a crucial election year.
The problem is that it won’t be an abortion ban. History has taught us that. It will be a ban on medically safe and supervised abortions that women can survive.
That kind of coverage of the SCOTUS decision will be weaponized by politicians who want to act like abortion won’t be banned if people vote for Republicans, or stay home. It’s Trump saying “there’s nothing happening there” re: Amy Coney Barrett all over again jezebel.com/abortion-acc...
