Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights Seattle

From Paul Street: One week ago, the fascist Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals blocked a 2023 U.S. Food and Drug Administration rule that allowed the critical abortion drug mifepristone to be dispensed without an in-person visit with a physician. The Fifth Circuit’s viciously misogynist effort to advance female enslavement and forced motherhood was briefly halted by the fascist majority US Supreme Court, which may soon back the Fifth Circuit’s horrific decision. This is a very big deal: telemedicine abortion has been a lifeline for millions of women seeking relief from unwanted pregnancies in “red” (Republi-fascist) states that have implemented abortion bans in the wake of the high Trump Supreme Court’s illegitimate overturning of women’s half-century right to an abortion four years ago (the Dobbs ruling of June 24, 2022). A 2023 Supreme Court ruling keeping tele-mifepristone-mailing alive was based just on standing and said that women-enslavers could come back to try again. Now the fascist “right to life” woman haters have done exactly that via the far-right Christian fascist government of Louisiana, where the Ten Commandments are posted in public schoolrooms by state command. Nothing is certain, and Trump may not want an anti-mifepristone ruling for political reasons on the eve of the midterms but chances are good that the ra**st Roberts-Alito-Kavanaugh court will side with the women-enslavers it already emboldened with its illegitimate Dobbs ruling.

Good morning. It's May Day!
