Vice President Kamala Harris spoke in Tallahassee, Florida, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Roe V. Wade. Her pointed speech was given a stones-throw away from presumptive 2024 Republican Presidential candidate, Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. In the speech, Harris chided Republican efforts to restrict access to abortions, saying their laws were “designed by extremists.” “And can we truly be free if so-called leaders claim to be ‘on the vanguard of freedom’ while they dare to restrict the rights of the American people and attack the very foundations of freedom,” Harris said.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton tried to avoid being served a subpoena by fleeing his home in a truck, an affidavit filed on Monday says.

Wade was overturned, in June. According to the affidavit, Ernesto Martin Herrera, a process server, was attempting on Monday morning to serve Paxton at his home with a subpoena for a federal court hearing Tuesday. Herrera knocked on the front door and Paxton’s...

Headlines stating that Missouri women can’t get a divorce while pregnant sparked fear in many, but the social media posts don’t tell the whole story. Under Missouri law, a pregnant woman can file for a divorce while pregnant, but it cannot be finalized without a custody agreement in place which can’t be completed until the child is born. If a woman is pregnant, the law recognizes the husband as the father. Issuing one judgment in a divorce proceeding streamlines the process by dealing with visitation rights from the beginning. In doing this, parents are also granted the opportunity to take a p...

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the Republican candidate for governor of Arkansas and former Trump White House press secretary, claimed that the overruling of Roe v. Wade would make children as safe in wombs as they are in schools. The comment was made during a rally she shared on Twitter a few weeks prior to the actual decision being handed down. “We will make sure that when a kid is in the womb, they’re as safe as they are in a classroom, the workplace, a nursing home—because every stage of life has value, no one greater than the other,” Sanders stated. The comment was made on May 25, one day after ...

A leaked court draft written by Justice Samuel Alito indicates that the Supreme Court will turn over the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade case, which federally legalized abortion across the country. The case has not been officially decided, and it is unclear if the draft is still undergoing adjustments. According to the leaked opinion, circulated between the justices in early February, Alito was joined by conservative Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. Chief Justice John Roberts most likely sided with the three liberal justices but could be writing a separa...

As the Supreme Court’s new term begins this week with the resumed in-person hearings, it is set to hear cases several controversial laws. The biggest of all is a new abortion law from Mississippi that challenges the constitutionality of Roe v. Wade, a Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion almost a half-century old. Mississippi’s Attorney General Lynn Fitch (R) has openly challenged Roe v. Wade, explicitly requested the judges to use the state’s 15-week abortion ban to overrule Roe and related laws. “This Court should overrule Roe and Casey,” Fitch wrote in the petition to the Supreme ...

After the Supreme Court last week refused to block the Texas “fetal heartbeat” law, the most restrictive abortion law in the U.S., other Republican-led state governments are likely to follow suit. The law, which was first signed in May by Gov. Greg Abbott (R), rewards a $10,000 bounty for private citizens who sue a physician, clinic staff or anyone who’s involved in helping women terminating pregnancy at six weeks pregnancy or later. Republicans in Arkansas, South Dakota and Florida have already hinted that they will be looking into bringing a similar version of the “fetal heartbeat” law in Te...
