BY CARRIE N. BAKER | The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments next week, on Tuesday, March 26, in a case against the abortion pill mifepristone, filed against the FDA and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services by the conservative legal group Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of anti-abortion doctors and dentists. The Court will issue its ruling by summer—just months before the fall election, when voters will decide on the next U.S. president and control of Congress.
“This case is not based on any kind of medical or scientific fact around abortion. It’s purely based on politics,” said Elisa Wells of the abortion pill advocacy group Plan C. “The fact that it’s been allowed to progress so far in the court system is outrageous.”

BY MARIE SHEAR | The singular pronoun ‘they’ was widely accepted in written English until the end of the 18th century, when grammarians began attacking it. So ‘they’ isn’t new—it’s a return to venerable usage.

[link removed] [[link removed]] Listen to United Bodies—a new podcast about the lived experience of health, from Ms. Studios, on Apple Podcasts [[link removed]] + Spotify [[link removed]] .
On the final episode of United Bodies, we’re talking about accessing joy amidst the deepest of suffering, amidst any circumstance even while staring down our own mortality—because ultimately, that is true freedom. Choosing and experiencing joy can be difficult for so many reasons—be it our knack for comparison or shame, or our resistance or fear of embodiment and presence. Our guest today, poet Andrea Gibson, proves that navigating these forces are worth it to experience the fullness that joy can bring to our lives.
