Those are the things that I wanted to talk about because I do feel like, again, if you are someone who cares about abortion rights, you need to know about these things because they can sneak up on you if you're not paying close attention.

The first threat is that there are lots of lawsuits around Mifepristone and around access to abortion pills.

This lawsuit, the one that made its way up to the Supreme Court from the Fifth Circuit, that is going to continue.

It will likely get appealed at the Fifth Circuit.

It may ultimately go back to the Supreme Court for oral arguments.

But there are other lawsuits that have also been filed.

Most notably, there was a lawsuit filed by the Republican attorneys general of Kansas, Missouri, and Idaho that has also asked for the FDA to limit access to Mifepristone.

Got it.

They even recently filed paperwork while this case at the Supreme Court was ongoing saying we want to push forward.

We want to continue with this lawsuit and see what we can get.

The second threat that I'm following was actually mentioned in this most recent Supreme Court ruling.

There are two dissents in this case.

One of them was written by Samuel Alito and the other was written by Clarence Thomas.

These are two of the most hardline right wing people on the Supreme Court, and they have a track record of citing against abortion rights.

They both, in fact, joined the conservative majority in overturning Roe v. Wade.

So I want to start, Kai, by asking you to read from Alito's descent.

If you can give me your best Samuel Alito here.

I am so sorry.

Can you believe these women being enabled?

I am going to thank Samuel Alito for reminding us what Mifepristone is because, again, it's confusing.
