Indivisibles,

The Supreme Court just unanimously rejected a MAGA challenge to the FDA’s ability to regulate mifepristone -- a drug used in medication abortion.

This is a good thing: A small victory against this extremist court’s ongoing attacks on reproductive freedom and abortion in particular.

But it is not over. The Supreme Court’s (SCOTUS) ruling was simply that the plaintiffs did not have standing to bring this case. Not only does that not rule out future legal attacks on mifepristone, this is exactly the way MAGA justices explicitly keep the door open for another case to be brought forward in a manner that allows them to rip away our freedoms.

And while we may have gotten a reprieve from a federal mifepristone restriction for today, MAGA state legislatures across the country are doing everything they can to outlaw medication abortion locally: Just a few weeks ago, Louisiana passed a law classifying mifepristone and misoprostol (the two drugs used for medication abortion) as controlled substances, drastically restricting the drugs.

Access to medication abortion is still not safe from the hands of MAGA extremists.

We know that Trump’s justices are not satisfied with letting women have freedom over their bodies, his hand-picked cronies are the exact justices who repealed Roe. They are looking for any opportunity to do it again, and they may soon have just that opportunity when they rule on whether states can ban doctors from providing emergency abortion care, right up until a woman is about to die, in violation of federal patient protections under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA).

Reproductive freedoms are still in danger from SCOTUS today, and they will be even more endangered if Trump is re-elected in November. We’ve got to get to work today:

Join us for our Majority Over MAGA Weekend of Action Kickoff Call tonight, Thursday, June 13 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. Today’s ruling may have been welcome news, but we already know that this is the same court that overturned Roe, and they will stop at nothing to deprive us of our reproductive freedoms. Join us tonight to hear more about what you can do to spread the word about the current risk to our bodily autonomy. **Bonus announcement: We will have a special message from Vice President Kamala Harris on tonight’s call**
Check out our June 21-24 Weekend of Action Toolkit and plan an event for next weekend today. From why we’re hosting a weekend of action next week (it’s the anniversary of the repeal of Roe), to ideas for events, to what resources we have available for groups wanting to host events, this toolkit is your one-stop shop for all things Weekend of Action. According to a new Times/Siena poll, 17% of voters blame Biden for the repeal of Roe. It is vital that we get out there and remind them that ending Roe was always Trump’s plan, and he will go even further if he’s reelected. Check here to see if there’s already an event near you.

SCOTUS gets no points for doing the bare minimum and -- at least temporarily -- upholding the FDA’s ability to regulate drug safety. We already know that MAGA Republicans don’t care about facts or evidence (they’re still supporting Trump even after multiple guilty verdicts), they want control over our autonomy. Join us tonight and learn how you can help protect our rights today and into the future.

In solidarity,
