May 2024: We can fix access to abortion (no, really, we can)

April was a big month as we showed up for Supreme Court rallies for two major cases, and the energy was incredible. But this month/May, we can't slow down and we can't let our commitment to repro freedom waver. Decisions in these cases could come as soon as the end of this month.

Because so many factors are at play in these cases, I asked our resident SCOTUS expert, Emily Steinert McDowell, to break it down for you (and me) because every #ReproFreedomVoter needs to know what is at stake.

What's Hot in May
Abortion in the Courts

Hi team,
Almost two years after the anti-abortion majority on the Supreme Court decimated the constitutional right to abortion, the same justices heard two major abortion cases that could have devastating consequences for abortion access.

In March, the Court heard oral arguments in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. Food and Drug Administration ( AHM v. FDA ). In this case, anti-abortion extremists are trying to restrict or ban access to medication abortion using mifepristone—the most common method of abortion care. They’re doing this regardless of the fact that decades of reliable data, evidence, and expert opinions of FDA scientists clearly show that mifepristone is safe and effective.

The second case comes out of Idaho (a state with a near-total abortion ban), who argued that states should be allowed to deny life-saving care to pregnant people. Idaho argued that their state’s dangerous abortion ban should supersede a federal law that requires hospitals to provide stabilizing care to people in emergency situations—including abortion care. You read that right—Idaho does not think that a federal law should require them to provide pregnant patients with potentially life-saving emergency abortion care, even when a doctor determines that care is necessary to protect their health or save their lives.

The Court usually releases its decisions in late May and throughout June, and we are closely monitoring for the rulings in these two cases. I’m personally all too well aware that these rulings to further restrict abortion access will coincide with the two-year anniversary of the Dobbs decision. But our fight didn’t end with the Court overturning Roe , and it won’t stop after these decisions. We know that anti-abortion extremists will stop at nothing to manipulate our courts to further attack reproductive freedom and we must do everything we can to fight back.

—Emily

MSNBC Deadline: White House

"86% of Americans support access to emergency abortion care. Decisions about pregnancy should be made by a pregnant person and their doctors—not by politicians or the courts."
