A New Legal Battle over Abortion Pills Erupts in the US

from The Dispatches · host Left Foot Media

Last week a Louisiana court issued a significant ruling about how abortion pills can be accessed in their state. Within days that ruling had escalated all the way to the US Supreme Court. In this episode I explore how we got to this point and where the legal battle currently stands. I also explain the good reasons why I think that even pro-choice people should be in favour of the Louisiana ruling, as well as the deeper ideological and cultural factors at play in all of this. ❤️ Become a Patreon supporter at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia ❤️ Become a Substack supporter at: www.thecounterculture.substack.com
