Appeals Court Rules in Favor of Woman Turned Away from Pharmacy for Emergency Contraceptive
[[link removed]]
Last week, the Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled that a pharmacist’s refusal to fill a woman’s prescription for the emergency contraceptive pill, Ella, was illegal sex discrimination under the state’s Human Rights Act. In 2019, a pharmacist in Aitkin County refused to fill Andrea Anderson’s prescription for Ella for “personal reasons.” Anderson’s attorney, Jess Braverman, argued that the pharmacy’s policy denied Anderson her full and equal access to goods and services, and “singles out customers by their protected status.” Monday, she said that argument was vindicated by the ruling.
“We think it’s really important that the court affirms that it is illegal, that it is sex discrimination, to turn away patients in need of reproductive health care,” she said. “These are really personal decisions; they’re medical decisions and people should feel confident whether they live in rural Minnesota or in a city in an urban area that they will not be turned away when they come to receive their health care.”

What's at Stake in the Supreme Court Mifepristone Case This Week
[[link removed]]
Just months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, a newly-formed group called the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine sued the Food and Drug Administration, challenging its approval of Mifepristone, a medication used for abortion.
On Tuesday, the same justices who undid constitutional protection for abortion heard arguments in the next frontier of abortion restriction: tightening access across the country for a medication that's used in nearly two-thirds of all abortions nationally and is critical for abortion access in many parts of Minnesota and the Midwest.

Women are Getting Off Birth Control Amid Misinformation Explosion
[[link removed]]
Search for “birth control” on TikTok or Instagram and a cascade of misleading videos vilifying hormonal contraception appear: Young women blaming their weight gain on the pill. Right-wing commentators claiming that some birth control can lead to infertility. Testimonials complaining of depression and anxiety.
Physicians say they’re seeing an explosion of birth-control misinformation online targeting a vulnerable demographic: people in their teens and early 20s who are more likely to believe what they see on their phones because of algorithms that feed them a stream of videos reinforcing messages often divorced from scientific evidence. While doctors say hormonal contraception — which includes birth-control pills and intrauterine devices (IUDs) — is safe and effective, they worry the profession’s long-standing lack of transparency about some of the serious but rare side effects has left many patients seeking information from unqualified online communities.
