Supreme Court Rejects Far Right Effort to Restrict Access to Medication Abortions and Mifepristone

It is part of a broader crusade to impose their own ideology on women in this country and prevent them from making their own reproductive health care decisions. Today, we celebrate this decision, but we must remain vigilant against such attacks.”
--IWPR President Dr. Jamila K. Taylor
