Michael Ian Black: Anti-Abortion Zealots Flex Their Biblical Muscles at the Supreme Court
Welp, they’re debatin’ babies up at the Supreme Court again.
On Tuesday, SCOTUS heard oral arguments regarding the “morning after pill,” mifepristone. The drug was approved for use in 2000, and is now used in half of all abortions. The case before the Court is about limiting the ability of patients to receive the drug through the mail.
Not surprisingly, the plaintiffs in this case are a thinly-veiled Christian nationalist project called The Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, founded in 2022. Their website has no information about the group’s members, but I’m guessing their footwear of choice is “sensible.”
