CNN always finds a way to dress up judicial meddling as compassion, but mail order abortion pills is exactly the kind of reckless shortcut that turns a serious issue into drive by policy. If the Court is going to touch this at all, it ought to put the brakes on, not let the bureaucracy keep normalizing it.
the court literally just said states can still restrict it, what brakes do you want lol
Temporary access by mail while everybody reheats the same culture-war sludge, because apparently nobody can let a medical issue stay a medical issue. The left gets to shout "access," the right gets to shout "chaos," and patients are left holding the bill for all this theater.
The temporary part is doing a lot of work in that headline. What's the actual legal timeline here, or is this just the Court kicking the can until the next filing?
Concordantly, "temporarily restored" and "emergency appeal" in the same headline is the court operating as a pressure valve rather than a legal institution, ergo what you are witnessing is not jurisprudence but crisis management deferred. Vis-a-vis the underlying access question, neither side has secured a durable outcome; they have secured a news cycle.
killin babys thru the MAIL now is what there celebratin!! scotus beter fix this fast cuz mailin out aborshin pills to anyone with a adress is insane and DANGRUS!! trump put them good justises on the court for a reason and we need them to step up!!
