At the same time, the rise of #telehealth #abortion has put “new pressures in the older-school, brick-&-mortar facilities,”said Caitlin Myers, a Middlebury College economics professor who maps brick-&-mortar abortion clinics across the US.
Until a few years ago, doctors could prescribe abortion pills only in person. Those restrictions were lifted during the pandemic, but it was the #Dobbs decision in 2022 that really "accelerated expansions in telehealth,”Myers said.
“For 2 years, I’ve seen firsthand how our state’s #AbortionBan has harmed my patients, with countless lives & futures changed because politicians thought their views of the right #healthcare was more important than #pregnant people & their #medical providers,” Dr. Eric M Reuss, one of the healthcare providers who brought the lawsuit over #Arizona’s 15-week ban, said in a statement.
#Arizona court permanently blocks 15-week #AbortionBan
The ruling marks a victory for #AbortionRights months after a ballot measure added protections to the state #constitution
A court permanently blocked AZ’s 15-week #abortion ban from taking effect on Wed, months after AZ residents voted to pass a ballot measure adding abortion rights into the state constitution.

In his dissent Monday, #ClarenceThomas said lower courts continue to follow Hill despite the court’s repudiation of that ruling in #Dobbs.
“I don’t see what is left” of the 2000 decision, he wrote, adding that the court “declines an invitation to set the record straight on Hill’s defunct status.”
In asking #SCOTUS to take the case from #Illinois, the coalition’s lawyer, Paul Clement, invoked the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn #RoeVWade. In that ruling, known as #Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Org, #Alito cited the court’s 2000 decision on buffer zones as an example of an #abortion-related case that had “distorted First Amendment doctrines.”
@AmandaMarcotte on "what one Texas law enforcement official called 'a little bit of an epidemic' of infant abandonment." It's a death cult.
I grew up in Iowa. Raised all three of my daughters there. Graduated from the University of Iowa, as did one of my daughters. With the current political climate as it is, I would not encourage any young woman to attend any college in the state. What happens to her if she is roofied, raped and pregnant w/in her first semester? She risks death. Votes matter. Vote for #KamalaHarris
This is brilliant and hopefully prescient.
"As long as abortion was legal, it was easy for women in conservative communities to regard the issue as a personal matter, not a legal one. With the right taken away, however, the difference between personal conviction and a legal mandate has come starkly into view."
"200+ #women faced #criminal charges over #pregnancy in year after #Dobbs, report finds"
For the sake of your world, your country, your community, your family:
You need to #vote
There is no excuse not to
There is too much on the line
Everywhere
Not just #president, all levels of govt
Thank you @PBruce for this post!
Don't the latest column of #InContempt, featuring news and updates on state repression and political prisoners.
This includes news on the #Florida4, pro-choice activists that were hit with federal charges and jail time "ranging from 30 days to a year on conspiracy charges related to graffiti on fake [anti-choice] clinics."

#Dobbs didn’t just unleash a raft of #laws restricting & banning #abortion—it also…made authorities more skeptical of #women whose pregnancies end prematurely for reasons that have nothing to do w/abortion.…Wendy Bach, a #law prof at the University of TN Knoxville, who co-authored the report [said],”…in this postDobbs era, pregnancy loss is extremely suspicious. It can lead to #criminal investigation, criminal #charges, #incarceration, & #FamilySeparation.”

#SCOTUS’ landmark 2022 ruling in #Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Org “open[ed] the door to govt intrusion into #pregnancy in unprecedented ways,” #PregnancyJustice says, “throwing suspicion on pregnancy loss, particularly outside #medical settings.” In just the first year after Dobbs, ≥22 women around the US faced #criminal prosecution after suffering #miscarriages, #stillbirths, or the #death of #premature babies, the org reports.

Their reviews of individual patient cases are not made public. But ProPublica obtained reports that confirm that at least 2 women have already #died after they couldn’t #access #legal #abortions & timely #medical care in their state [due to #AbortionBans & #restrictions].
There are almost certainly others.
