"[Adams] contains within him a whole colorful cast of strange bedfellows...He’s deeply conservative and deeply committed to abortion rights...He extols the virtues of Bristol, where some of his neighbors think of his medical practice as the work of the devil."

The latest thought-provoking and beautifully drawn profile by @STAT's inimitable Eric Boodman, wherein I learned that conservatives used to support abortion.

Imagine being this oblivious. 70% of Americans support a woman's right to #abortion; the greatest level of support in America's #history. Prior to the recent, horrible #Dobbs decision, abortion rights were guaranteed for 50 years. So, how could the #Democrat's position on abortion possibly be considered "#radical"? Isn't a position that is overwhelmingly contrary to what the vast #majority of people believe, and contrary to the #historical #statusQuo the radical view?

Women should not have rights because it’s unsafe for us to have rights. Gotcha.

//“The E.R.A. could anchor a supposed right to abortion in the Constitution itself,” Emma Waters, a research associate at the conservative Heritage Foundation, wrote earlier this year. She added, “To protect the lives of women and their unborn children, lawmakers must oppose the national Equal Rights Amendment.”//

#ERA #Dobbs

Huge abortion news I missed over the weekend. Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin is going to start offering abortion services at three clinics again if a Dane County judge rules against the 1849 ban, which could happen soon. AG Kaul filed the challenge days after the Dobbs ruling, and oral arguments happened in May.

Listen, I know that being a law professor is a super cushy job and every day I am grateful for the opportunity.

But honestly it is sheer torture to have to read Dobbs again and again.

Let’s be perfectly clear: The worst thing about #Dobbs was not that it was leaked.

Citizen-crafted state constitutional amendments are a new #abortion battleground, with some states quickly adopting them to protect abortion, and others making it more difficult to pass amendments.

An expert on state constitutions analyzes the trend:

How Abortion Bans Are Impacting Pregnant Patients Across the Country
--
Leading legal scholar Mary Ziegler and Tennessee OB-GYN Dr. Nikki Zite discuss ominous trends and threats to patients’ lives posed by increasingly strict abortion bans.

"If you’re living in a state where abortion is legal, you should not take for granted that that will remain the case."
