Adam Schiff for Senate

John, on Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard yet another abortion case that could impact access to emergency medical care.

The Biden administration challenged Idaho’s near-total abortion ban in Moyle v. United States, asserting that federal law supersedes the ban and requires Medicare-participating hospitals to offer abortion care if necessary to provide stabilizing treatment.

The Supreme Court’s forthcoming decision could set a dangerous standard. If Idaho’s ban is allowed to take precedence over the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, it signals to other states that the Biden administration’s work to restore abortion access in states with total or near-total bans can be overturned.

But let’s take a closer look at how we got here, John, because this case isn’t just about reproductive freedom — it’s also about the reactionary and compromised nature of the Supreme Court.

I am proud to champion reproductive freedom. In my tenure in Congress, I have cosponsored the EACH Act, the Women’s Health Protection Act, and the Ensuring Women’s Right to Reproductive Freedom Act. I also voted to codify Roe v. Wade into federal law. But part of this crucial work to defend abortion rights includes holding our ultra-partisan Supreme Court accountable.

We wouldn’t be in this position if Senate Republicans hadn’t allowed Trump to stack the Supreme Court with anti-abortion extremists — including Brett Kavanaugh, whose history of sexual misconduct should have disqualified him from this lifetime appointment from day one.

It will take bold but necessary action to reform our judicial system. I support expanding the Supreme Court and am a lead author of the Judiciary Act, which would expand the number of justices from 9 to 13. I also support term limits, an enforceable code of ethics, and banning stock trading for judges.

By holding the Supreme Court to account, we can make big changes for abortion, John. A fair, balanced, and representative Court will be equipped to issue rulings that impact our fundamental human rights — unlike our current judicial makeup.

Can you chip in $10 to help me maintain a pro-choice majority in the U.S. Senate and support my work to hold the Supreme Court accountable? My opponent will only be a rubber stamp for MAGA extremists on abortion, so your support is more important than ever.
