## Resource

In breaking news, in a 7-2 decision, the US Supreme Court is allowing the sale by mail order of mifepristone one of 2 abortion drugs used for 50% of abortions in America, even into states that ban abortion. Popok explains that the new order will make the drug available to women in all 50 states at least for another year to 18 months, and presages a court that may ultimately allow its sale permanently. And yet Justices Thomas and Alito call the sale of the drug a "criminal enterprise" for "profit" that does nothing more than try to undermine the Court's decision in 2022 to overturn Roe v. Wade and take away a woman's right to choose, caring more about Red States than a woman's most private and intimate reproductive choices.
