John,
We’ve just scored another massive win! The Supreme Court ruled unanimously to uphold the FDA’s authorization of mifepristone, keeping this essential medication accessible.
Mifepristone wins at the Supreme Court:
The ruling: The (still compromised) SCOTUS decided the group of right-wing plaintiffs lacked legal standing to challenge mifepristone. Basically, SCOTUS said they don’t even go here, & had zero grounds to challenge Mifepristone.
What it means: The FDA’s regulations stay in place, Mifepristone remains available, but it’s not the final word on abortion pills. The door is open for legal challenges on regulations themselves. We’re in the clear for now, but the fight will continue.
Feminists Over Fascists:
This Victory is Ours: For the past year, Women’s Marchers have led the fight for Mifepristone. From day one at Kacsmaryk’s Kangaroo Court in Amarillo to a compromised SCOTUS in Washington, DC – millions of us took action, donated, marched and put our bodies on the line. This win is because of every single one of us who stood up and fought back. We are the resistance!
They thought they could do this in the dark. They thought with forum shopping, compromised courts, and Trump-appointed judges, they had this in the bag. But together, we said HELL NO.
The Fight’s Not Over:
Stay Ready: This battle isn’t finished. We’re up against anti-freedom, anti-women extremists, and we won’t go back. And we know the zealots who pushed this challenge before SCOUTS will be back with a vengeance. They've told us their plan in Project 2025. We know they're coming, and we'll be there to fight back. Every. Single. Time.
We Stay Winning:
Earlier this week, we defeated right-wing attempts to implement an abortion travel ban in Texas. Today, our actions stopped the same extremists at SCOTUS. Together, we will keep winning. Together, we will defeat them at every step.
But for now – take some time, take a breath – and celebrate our win.
In gratitude,
Rachel O'Leary Carmona
