ACLU Supporter, we are just weeks away from hearing the Supreme Court's rulings on cases that could impact every one of our rights – from medication and emergency abortion access to our voting rights and criminal law reform.
With so many cases on the docket, it can be easy to lose track of what's at stake. That's why we're breaking down the major cases we're tracking. Check out our recap of what we're waiting on from the Supreme Court this term >> <[link removed]>
In Abortion Rights
🏥 Two major cases will determine the future of abortion access. In one, the Supreme Court is considering whether to impose nationwide restrictions on mifepristone, a drug used in medication abortion and miscarriage care. In the other, the Supreme Court will decide if emergency care mandates include necessary abortion care – or if politicians can force doctors to turn away pregnant people at the emergency room doors.
In Voting Rights
🗳️ South Carolina voters are still awaiting a ruling on their new congressional maps – which we, along with partners, challenged in court for being racially discriminatory. The gerrymandering in this case would shut Black voters out of meaningful representation. The Supreme Court will decide whether to overturn these harmful maps.
In Criminal Legal Reform
⚖️ The Court will soon decide if cities can criminalize unhoused people with no access to shelter for sleeping outside in public. The case stems from an Oregon city's law punishing people for sleeping outside on a blanket, pillow, or even a cardboard sheet to lie on. The Supreme Court will decide if this is a violation of the Eighth Amendment protection against cruel and unusual punishment. Unhoused people should not be fined or arrested for simply existing.
