How do the SCOTUS decisions affect our daily lives? Join me and Healing Equity United on June 28th for a free webinar on the recent decisions coming out of the Supreme Court. Registration: https://lnkd.in/eZ96-t2g This webinar will dive into the implications of a few of the most recent cases, including: ✦ L.W. v. Skormetti, which decides whether parents can provide gender-affirming care for their trans and gender-expansive children. ✦ FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicare, which determines whether Mifepristone (a common abortion method) can be banned. ✦ Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of NAACP, which decides whether states can make it harder for People of the Global Majority to access political power. We will unpack the underlying elements of the cases and their potential societal effects as I provide clarity on complex legal matters. Participants will learn about and process the implications of these rulings through a DEIB lens and together we will hold space for our personal reactions to them. Toward the end of our time together, we’ll cover actions we can take in response to these rulings. 💙

Cavity Samantha and the court Drew Goins published a neat synopsis of a new rendition of an old game as imagined by @Alexandra Petri of WAPO. How to play Operation: Post-Roe — as the court plays with women’s health! You, a doctor, consider the situation: Patient is experiencing a ruptured amniotic sac, or severe preeclampsia. The procedure is medically necessary. There is no other option. It is the only way to stabilize the patient/pregnant woman. You begin to operate. BZZZZZ! Game over! Nice try, but you forgot to check whether saving a pregnant woman’s life is allowed in your state! Listening to oral arguments on Wednesday for the Supreme Court case Idaho v. United States — concerning whether federal law can require hospitals to perform emergency abortions in states with bans — Alexandra Petri saw fit to update America’s favorite hospital board game for certain realities after the 2022 Dobbs decision stripped the federal right to an abortion. The fun-ectomized version of the game has brand-new “state legislator” and “vintage law from 1864” cards, as well as the inevitable involvement of other unsavories, such as Justice Samuel Alito Q: Actually, I have a question about the inclusion of Justice Samuel Alito as an unavoidable character in this game. Why? A: What game isn’t more fun with the inclusion of Justice Samuel Alito? (The author of the Dobbs decision) making trenchant comments such as: "the hospital must try to eliminate any immediate threat to the child, but performing an abortion is antithetical to that duty.” Q: Why does my Justice Alito shout “Stop, Doctor! We must weigh the competing interests of Cavity Samantha against those of the unborn child!” in situations where doing so would be totally senseless — i.e., emergency situations where because of pregnancy complications, the loss of the fetus is inevitable but the loss of the life of the person carrying that fetus is not? A: Ah, you’re again making the mistake of thinking your Cavity Samantha is a person. That’s why we wrote “ONLY A PERSON SOMETIMES” on the box in big red letters. Doctors keep forgetting that, and then they lose the game — and their licenses! The mother to Alito apparently is "collateral damage, a mere vessel. And never mind that the "child" he refers to can be just a cell ball, or have an anomaly that will ensure death before or soon after birth. He consistently parrots anti-abortion activists in his choice of words. And decisions! Yeah, Operation: Post Roe sounds like a challenging and fun game all right (NOT). That's why lawyers and judges should never be allowed to practice medicine.
Opinion | Congrats on buying Operation: Post-Roe! Here are the board game FAQs.

LIFE CASE AT SCOTUS: Idaho will soon face off against the Biden administration at the Supreme Court. What’s this case all about? It centers on a federal law, the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA). The Biden administration claims this law gives it the power to override Idaho’s pro-life law and force ER doctors to perform abortions. But EMTALA does no such thing. This law . . . ● Was enacted in 1986 & signed by President Reagan ● Requires hospitals to provide emergency care to patients, regardless of their ability to pay ● Contains the phrase “unborn child” 4 times—explicitly requiring hospitals to provide care for unborn children and their mothers ● Does NOT contain the word “abortion” In reality, there is NO CONFLICT between EMTALA and Idaho’s pro-life law. Both laws protect life and allow for emergency life-saving care—for pregnant women AND their babies. So what is the Biden administration trying to do? It can’t be to “protect women’s lives.” Idaho’s law does that already. The administration is trying to: ● Nullify the pro-life laws of more than 20 states ● Force ER doctors to take vulnerable lives ● Promote abortion at any cost—even the rule of law That’s why it’s so important that Idaho is standing firm. Idaho is not just defending the lives of women and children in their state. They’re defending the rule of law for all of us. And ADF is standing with them.

In a profession dedicated to providing hope to others, it's essential to find personal sources of inspiration. Positive changes, like Ohio striking down abortion mandates, serve as beacons of hope. Despite the noise, the numbers are in favor of positive change. Communities coming together, individuals putting aside differences for a common goal — these are the building blocks of hope. Where have you experienced hope in your communities lately? I'd love to hear about it. Drop a comment below and let's inspire one another by sharing the glimmers we've seen recently. #HopeInTheChaos #BuildingBlocksOfHope #PositiveChangePrevails #missiondriven #leadershipdevelopment

Two years ago, SCOTUS gave us the Dobbs decision, ignoring science, evidence, precedent and ethics to strip women, girls and birthing people of bodily autonomy. Despite the spirited resistance of people throughout the country, many have been harmed: pregnant people and their families, physicians trying to maintain ethical standards and public health overall. In the article referenced here, we highlight the ways forward: https://t.co/CiJ2I1JoV3

Today marks two years since Roe v. Wade was overturned. Now, several MPs in Canada from the Conservative Party are trying to follow suit. Let’s be clear: my body is not your political playground. Every person with a uterus deserves the right to make decisions about their own healthcare, including the right to an abortion. We must protect the mothers and children being forced into unspeakable situations in places like Palestine and Sudan. Their suffering is a stark reminder of what happens when reproductive rights are stripped away. Our bodies are not for your taking, not for your political games. Abortion is not a political issue; it’s healthcare. Protecting reproductive rights means protecting our future generation. Stand up, speak out, and make sure our voices are heard. #MyBodyMyChoice #HealthcareIsARight #womensstrike2024 #transrightsarehumanrights🌈 #womanrights

The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization represents a profound challenge to women's rights in America. By overturning Roe v. Wade, the Court has set a dangerous precedent that threatens the fundamental right to choose. This decision disproportionately impacts vulnerable communities, exacerbating existing inequities in healthcare access. Now, more than ever, it is imperative that we come together to defend reproductive freedoms and advocate for comprehensive healthcare protections. As your representative, I am dedicated to leading the charge in Congress to ensure that women's rights are protected. We must push for legislation that enshrines reproductive freedoms into law and guarantees equitable access to healthcare for all. I urge my colleagues, constituents, and all advocates of justice to join me in this critical fight. Together, we can make a difference and ensure a future where every individual has the right to make their own healthcare decisions. #StandWithWomen #ReproductiveJustice #HealthcareEquality #LegislativeAction

In 2022, when Tennessee implemented an extreme abortion ban, politicians told residents not to worry—that they would still be able to access care if their health was on the line. Well, it turns out those were empty words, and this broken promise nearly killed our seven clients. In Blackmon v. Tennessee, we're representing seven women who were denied medically-necessary abortion care during health crises because of the ban, and two doctors who were prevented from providing life-saving treatment to their patients during active obstetric emergencies. Our case is clear cut: Tennesseans deserve access to essential medical care and laws that provide coherent guidance in keeping with medical standards. We will not stop fighting for justice for our plaintiffs, and for every person living under these intolerable laws. Learn more about the case: https://bit.ly/4696aE0
