*steps to the mic, coughs, clears throat, coughs again* Well, I love my kids, but it's the season of the sicks, and I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed (because I can't be around older people right now because I'm sick, we're all sick, we'll be sick until July)

But post Dobbs, w GOP running from the issue, and abortion pills flowing freely, I think these activists realize they have failed to change the wider culture, and it's catching up with them. Kristan is fixated on "making abortion unthinkable," but the truth is, she's further from that than ever!

@amylittlefield.bsky.social

That's a great question. Abortion opponents have historically been able to build political power even though they represent a minority POV...gerrymandering has helped w this, as has GOP loyalty to the cause!

Thank you so much for this. Yesterday was so uplifting and informative for me. One of my top takeaways: stay in your lane, but look for the intersections. I feel a renewed focus and energy over here in my lane. Thank you for teaching and convening us.

Thanks to everyone who joined our abortion teach in today. Thanks especially to @amylittlefield.bsky.social and @renee.bsky.social for facilitating us. The Rightwing wants to & is planning to outlaw all abortions across the country. We know this. Glad we could convene to look back & look forward.

To recap: three GOP-led states that wanted the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade in order to "send abortion back to the states" are now asking the Court to strike down abortion protections in blue states

NEW / HUGE: Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama sued nearly three dozen abortion pill providers + a pharmacy and The states asked the Supreme Court to be able to sue New York, Massachusetts, and California to challenge their telehealth shield laws @autonomynews.co storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Dear Mr. Cayce: I write to notify the panel of two legal developments material to the panel’s resolution of this case. First, today Louisiana—joined by Arkansas and Alabama—filed a lawsuit in the Western District of Louisiana against nearly three dozen individuals and entities responsible for remotely dispensing FDA- approved mifepristone in Louisiana, Arkansas, and Alabama. See Louisiana v. Nouhavandi, No. 2:26-cv-03836 (W.D. La.) (attached). As the complaint in that case illustrates, none of those individuals and entities could carry out their current operations without the 2023 REMS’s removal of the in-person dispensing requirement. Second, also today Louisiana—joined by Arkansas and Alabama— filed a motion for leave to file a bill of complaint (attached), Louisiana v. New York, in the United States Supreme Court against New York, Massachusetts, and California. The bill of complaint challenges the telehealth shield laws of those states on various legal grounds. Both complaints explain how Louisiana’s success in Louisiana v. FDA will eliminate the flood of FDA-approved mifepristone into the State. Louisiana’s success in Louisiana v. Nouhavandi will eliminate the 2 ability of nearly three dozen of the most prominent actors to illegally send any abortion drugs into the State. And Louisiana’s success in Louisiana v. New York will strip all shield-law state residents—regardless of any back-up drugs they may try to use—of the claimed authority to violate Louisiana’s laws with impunity. espectfully, /s/J.
