NEW: The ultraconservative Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has blocked the 2023 rule change that allowed for telemedicine prescriptions of the abortion drug mifepristone—nationwide.

The ruling does not affect misoprostol, the second medication used with mifepristone to terminate pregnancies—and a powerful abortion drug on its own. “Abortion is too important,” says @greerdonley.bsky.social. “People are going to find ways around the law." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Terrific op-ed highlighting the perverse impacts of abortion bans

Delighted to review @azizaahmed.bsky.social's terrific book "Risk and Resistance: How Feminists Transformed the Law and Science of Aids" at JOTWELL: health.jotwell.com/public-healt...

Terrific piece on the current state of abortion access by @dsc250.bsky.social & @carolejoffe.bsky.social - there is a lot to rage about these days but we still need those rage donations for abortion care: msmagazine.com/2026/01/21/a...

Professors David S. Cohen & Carole Joffe had the opportunity to conduct 3 rounds of interviews about abortion in early 2022, then following the Dobbs ruling, & again 6 months later. Their book, AFTER DOBBS, comes out this year.

Looking forward to moderating this important discussion—and deeply grateful to our outstanding speakers Francine Coeytaux, @dsc250.bsky.social, @carolejoffe.bsky.social, & Tammi Kromenaker for bringing their expertise to this critical issue in reproductive health. Hope you can join us!

“With consideration for women’s suffering in pregnancy on the back burner, and blame and accountability taking center stage, we should be wary of how pregnancy directives will be mobilized in the criminal legal system.” @azizaahmed www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I'm so excited to read @profhilaryallen.bsky.social new serialized book explaining #fintechdystopia to not very tech savvy folks like me!

Breaking: Transgender people lose Skrmetti, SCOTUS rules that Tennessee's law banning gender affirming care is not subject to heightened scrutiny. I'll be reading and reporting more fully today. Terrible day for transgender people. Full decision here: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Re-upping this for no particular reason.

Several states have adopted shield laws to protect providers of gender affirming care, including from out-of-state actors who want to punish them for treating ban-state residents. Some states cover repro but not GAC. Know your state’s law & advocate for your state leaders to strengthen protections

Sotomayor points out the similarities between the Skrmetti ruling allowing discrimination against transgender people's medical care to Virginia's argument for its interracial marriage ban in Loving.

Revoking the EMTALA guidance for abortion was expected and will have a tiny impact, but we should nevertheless be horrified that Republicans have fought so hard to defend abortion bans that prohibit women from accessing emergency abortions. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

Excited to learn from our amazing health law team this week at #HLP2025! @auwclhealthlaw.bsky.social

Is this successful lobbying? Or exactly what someone would say to Senator Hawley if they were blowing him off and knew they were eventually going to change nothing?

I’m bad at tagging people, but all the greats are here: @mccuskey.bsky.social @leslieewolf.bsky.social @manofsilver.bsky.social @profgoldberg.bsky.social @micahberman.bsky.social I will continue to add folks as the day goes on!

Thanks for Kim Mutcherson for saying what needs to be said. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/o...

Such a generative roundtable and engaged audience at “Losing the Rhetorical War: Pregnancy Criminalization, Fetal Personhood, and the Need for New Strategies” ! thx @professormutch.bsky.social @mayamanian.bsky.social @lizchiarello.bsky.social @pregnancyjust.bsky.social #LSAChicago2025

Law enforcement is monitoring everyone’s prescription medicines, even though that surveillance has no benefit & “is associated with increased illicit drug overdose mortality and other negative health outcomes.” @jennoliva.bsky.social on the “new” just-as-punitive war on drugs inquest.org/everythi...

This is a terrific opportunity for anyone with a background in comms and reproductive health and rights!

Why did this woman in South Carolina have to wait two weeks to get a D&C after learning her baby didn't have a heartbeat? Thread below to explain why abortion bans are over broad and devastating miscarriage care. people.com/woman-forced...
