News about abortion

At 10 am, the Supreme Court hears its second abortion case in as many months. Have a look at my quick @TheEconomist preview and follow me here. I’ll be analyzing the oral argument as it happens espresso.economist.com/face3ee8cd23d4e678783e668802b7a6

Yesterday the Supreme Court discussed how many organs a woman could lose before abortion is required. Today they’re discussing whether or not a President could direct the assassination of a failed candidate. Just another day in the Trump dominated Supreme Court!

If you want to understand how severe and extreme the anti-abortion lawyers are in front of the Supreme Court are— AMY CONEY BARRETT has gotten short with them multiple times and asked follow up questions. WE ARE TO THE POINT WHERE ACB IS MAKING SENSE. WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU!?

It’s hard to gauge how today’s Supreme Court case about emergency abortions will come out because the lawyer defending Idaho’s total ban was so smugly condescending toward the women justices that even Barrett (rightly) lost her patience with him. slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/04/idaho-abortion-ban-supreme-court-amy-coney-barrett.html
