MORE THAN A MAGAZINE, A MOVEMENT
“It’s not safe to be pregnant in Idaho.”
—Gail Deady, senior staff attorney for the Center for Reproductive Rights
Ms . reporter Belle Taylor-McGhee digs into a pending Supreme Court case brought by the Justice Department against Idaho on behalf of patients who need care at hospital emergency rooms due to pregnancy complications, arguing that the state’s law banning abortion at all stages of pregnancy violates the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, or EMTALA. The Supreme Court’s decision, expected in June or July, will determine the fate of women suffering potentially fatal pregnancy complications and will have life-or-death ramifications for women in any state with extreme abortion bans in place.

The Supreme Court is also hearing a case that we fear could be the next Dobbs. Ms . contributor Carrie N. Baker outlines the potential, devastating outcomes of a lawsuit led by a group of anti-abortion doctors and dentists against the FDA’s approval of the abortion pill mifepristone.
Even so, feminists are not without recourse. In a huge win for abortion rights, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that a ban on Medicaid funding for the procedure discriminates against women in violation of the state’s Equal Rights Amendment. “It’s really beautiful,” Susan J. Frietsche of the Women’s Law Project told our reporter.
We agree.

*
Explaining
men:
For
the
fate
of
our
democracy,
it’s
time
to
offer
American
men
a
new
narrative—and
mobilize
men
as
men
in
service
of
progressive,
liberal
and
feminist
ideals.
*
Drawing
the
line:
The
ongoing
battle
against
gerrymandering
will
determine
whose
votes
have
value,
whose
voices
are
heard
and
what
public
policy
ideas
on
issues
(including
women’s
rights!)
stand
a
chance
of
becoming
law.

Eyewitness
in
Afghanistan:
In
an
excerpt
from
her
new
book,
Dr.
Sima
Samar
reflects
on
the
May
2021
school
bombing
that
killed
nearly
100
schoolgirls.
She
writes,
“While
there
had
been
other
attacks,
and
children
had
been
killed
before,
the
assault
on
girls
leaving
their
school
was
like
a
rumbling
coming
from
the
core
of
the
earth.”
