Washington, D.C.—Today, Andrew O’Neill, Legislative Director for Indivisible, released the following statement on the Supreme Court’s ruling on mifepristone access in the United States:
“This case only made it to the Supreme Court because lower court judges, appointed by Trump for their anti-abortion, anti-freedom agendas, are completely overhauling legal precedents to push forward their archaic political priorities.
“Republicans at the local, state, and national level are actively restricting access to abortion pills, which are used in nearly two-thirds of all abortion care in the U.S., and this case doesn’t change that. Louisiana just made abortion pills a controlled substance. We know Republicans won’t stop trying to eliminate abortion entirely. The Supreme Court didn’t use this case today as its vehicle to super-charge their efforts, but the reality on the ground hasn’t changed.
“This particular case was just barely too bullshit for the Supreme Court to take. But, while they didn’t find standing in this case, they could in another. MAGA will try again, likely very soon.
“We’re still holding our breath to see how the court rules on whether states can deny women emergency abortion care, as pregnant patients across the country whose lives are in danger are being denied care. We will fight like hell to end this national nightmare.”
