My book UNBEARABLE: Five Women and the Perils of Pregnancy in America comes out on October 28. It builds on my years of reporting on reproduction to weave together history, politics, and the staggering stories of five women.

One thing to remember is that the Supreme Court didn’t have to take up abortion at all. There was no conflict, no ambiguity in a type of ban they’ve easily dismissed before. Just a series of pleas from the right that at least four justices decided now was the time to answer.

This Ohio tragedy is, among many other things, a lesson that there is no account deemed sympathetic enough to break through to people who simply do not care about the suffering they’re causing. Instead we get denial, misdirection, or attacking those who told the story.

Lindsey Graham: "You want to pick judges, you better win." Hadn't @BarackObama won when Scalia died?

RBG comes out swinging. "You are shifting the employer’s religious beliefs, the cost of them, onto these employees who do not share the religious beliefs... The women here are getting nothing. They are required to do just what Congress didn’t want."

Wishing a swift recovery to RBG, who has had cancer twice and a heart stent put in, and until today, never missed a day on the bench.

It’s been three weeks since Roe fell and just about every predicted worst case scenario has already shown up in the reporting, plus a few I never even heard anyone warn of.

Jeff Flake got 50 parades thrown for him in the past six days, but this takes real courage.
