The Supreme Court said Wednesday it will consider whether to restrict access to a widely used abortion drug — even in states where the procedure is still allowed.

The case concerns the drug mifepristone that — when coupled with another drug — is one of the most common abortion methods in the United States.

The decision means the conservative-leaning court will again wade into the abortion debate after overturning Roe v. Wade last year, altering the landscape of abortion rights nationwide and triggering more than half the states to outlaw or severely restrict the procedure.

    Have you been living under a rock for the last couple of decades? The newest chucklefucks appointed to SCOTUS don’t give two shits about appearances and will do whatever they want at any time.

      They care a lot about appearances, what they don’t care about is actual popular opinion or democracy.

        If they cared about appearances they’d adopt a code of ethics.

          They did though, right?

          One that has no mechanisms of enforcement, which makes it exclusively about appearances.

          I think you have a good point though: we shouldn’t be surprised when they make another egregious ruling.
