This is a great if harrowing summary. The more I think about this the more Dems are very wrongfooted on "codifying Roe". We have to have an Equal Rights Amendment for women. There is nothing less that we can do. GOP is so feral and unhinged that they will never stop abusing women until it's written in stone that they cannot. And the SCOTUS has to be checked with a constitutional amendment that cuts them down before they can even get going. I just don't see anything less. So the best way to mobilize this is for blue states to pass ERAs into the state constitutions (maybe some have it - I haven't done a 50 state survey on this). Then it has to be a full mobilized ERA movement. Nothing less.
There are a few local wins... in Minnesota, a district judge issued a permanent injunction on some restrictions to abortion (24 hour waiting, parental notification, etc.). They violate the state constitution which added abortion protections in 1995.
Thanks! Another thing that maybe of interest. Women on waves the group behind aid access are trying to fund a study using Mifepristone as a form of birth control (so one pill could potentially be used as birth control (once a week) emergency contraception and as an early abortifacient.

The Republican party must be "aborted."
