The Supreme Court has kept a key abortion drug available for now. Still, Democrats will highlight the consequences of abortion bans as a midterms campaign theme, elevating what could be another weakness for Republicans, who are already underwater on a host of other issues, including cost-of-living concerns, skyrocketing healthcare costs and the ongoing war in Iran.

The high court on Thursday blocked a decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit that would have prevented healthcare providers from mailing mifepristone, one of two drugs used in most abortions. The court’s decision — which sparked livid dissents from its two most conservative members and fierce criticism from abortion opponents — will stay in effect while a challenge filed by the state of Louisiana makes its way through the courts.

    Owed? I don’t think anyone is owed anything by default

    That means no one has a right to reproduce, if no one is owed anything. I was basing my argument on yours, that there are inalienable rights. If you don’t agree with yourself, we have no argument.
