The Roberts Court, in one fell swoop, has: 1) Allowed states to defund Planned Parenthood even for non-abortion care so to... 2) Rip away people's right to choose their care provider under Medicaid while... 3) Advancing a neoconfederate understanding of our civil rights laws. This can't go on.

Step 1: Astroturf a lawsuit to an anti-abortion Trump judge eager to ban mifepristone based on bad faith args. Step 2: Fail at even this SCOTUS. Step 3: Get your anti-abortion friends from Project 2025 to make stuff up, call it a "bombshell report" that Trump 2.0 can run with. Step 4: Hurt people.
