The Supreme Court said Wednesday it will consider whether to restrict access to a widely used abortion drug — even in states where the procedure is still allowed.

The case concerns the drug mifepristone that — when coupled with another drug — is one of the most common abortion methods in the United States.

The decision means the conservative-leaning court will again wade into the abortion debate after overturning Roe v. Wade last year, altering the landscape of abortion rights nationwide and triggering more than half the states to outlaw or severely restrict the procedure.

    This court is illegitimate.

    The correct response regardless of outcome is to ignore them, at all levels.

      Absolutely right and it’s what I’ve been counseling people here to do - ignore them. We can find ways to get this drug to women if it means we have to do it through the black market or other means. The supreme court can fuck themselves into a tiny hole in the ground for all I care, they DO NOT NOW AND NEVER WILL HAVE AUTHORITY OVER OTHER HUMAN BEINGS IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM, NOT NOW AND NOT EVER!!!

        Hell, I mean authorities themselves should ignore these bastards. ‘Oh, but precedent…’ fuck that noise, we know this is nonsense. State courts should say this is garbage. City courts should say this is garbage. Employees, bosses, and shareholders alike should say this is garbage. No anarchist bent is required to say: we choose to do this; we can choose something else.

        We are already in a crisis of institutions. Stop doing what’s normal, and just do what’s right.

          I totally agree. I don’t think it’s anarchist to question this (or any) groups’ so called “moral authority” over the rest of us. I think its necessary. These people are supposed to represent US, the little people of the country, not their own moral ideas of what is right and wrong - they’re supposed to represent US. Not anything else!! And most people disagree totally with their overturning of Roe Vs. Wade, which was sick and immoral as anything could ever be.

        Once that cat’s well and truly out of the bag, there will be states deciding that any decision by the SC is null and void. No more same-sex marriage folks. Bye bye Brown v. Board of Education, welcome back segregation! No more guaranteed lawyer if you can’t afford one. This isn’t something you should be cheerleading.

          I’m cheerleading it and I’m funding it on a large scale. No one will ever again dare to take same-sex marriage choice away, we will simply gas chamber anybody who tries. And we need to get rid of all these fascists once and for all, with extreme prejudice. I’m cheerleading this all the way to the bloody end.
