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.

    I do agree that one’s bodily autonomy is nobody else’s business. I don’t think guns will help with government tyranny, they’re more likely to get you locked up and not able to accomplish what you hoped. And clearly in Utah voting doesn’t work either, because only republicans are allowed on the ticket here - you can register as democrat here, but you won’t receive a ballot and there won’t be any candidates to vote for.

        You expect me to back up my wild crazy assertions with actual sources? : / How unAmerican! Actually all I have are my own lived experiences here in Utah. But you can read about Utah’s “supermajority” on the web - though not much will be said about any democratic leanings, which actually are the leanings of most of the people in the general population here.
