The U.S. Supreme Court is poised to consider a case that could decide whether medical abortion should remain legal. The last two Supreme Court terms were a shock to the system. First came the Dobbs ruling that overturned the fundamental constitutional right to abortion care when it struck down Roe v. Wade.
The words “Equal Justice Under Law” are carved in stone over the entrance to the Supreme Court, but how often have those words rung hollow? Equal has to mean equal — every day and always. Now, the Supreme Court has full power to not only rule on the issue of access to medication abortion but also the authority of the FDA to determine the safety and efficacy of all drugs. What does that mean to women’s health? What does it mean to all of us?
United States v. Rahimi will consider whether individuals with domestic violence restraining orders can be prohibited from possessing a firearm. According to Everytown for Gun Safety, an average of 70 women are shot and killed by an intimate partner every month, and access to a gun makes it five times more likely that the abusive partner will kill his female victim.
“We conclude that ban on possession of firearms is an ‘outlier’ that our ancestors would never have accepted,” the 5th Circuit said.
