How Doctors Came To Play A Key Role In The Abortion Debate

On June 13, The Supreme Court announced its unanimous decision in FDA vs. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, governing access to a critical drug used in medication (non-surgical) abortions and to manage miscarriages. The decision preserves access (for now) to the widely used drug mifepristone, currently legal in 36 states. The court decided the case on procedural grounds, concluding that the plaintiffs, a coalition of anti-abortion physicians and medical associations, lacked standing. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Reproductive-justice advocates cautioned that challenges to the availability of the drug are likely to make their way back to the court, threatening access to a medication that has proved extraordinarily safe and effective. Yet this case goes far beyond issues of legal standing and procedure.

    Nuggets general manager Calvin Booth forecasted a scenario in which Denver doesn’t retain Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in free agency Wednesday night, expressing confidence in Christian Braun as the potential next man up. “I think we have to look at everything, and the nature of free agency is, he’s unrestricted,” Booth said of Caldwell-Pope during a Ball Arena news conference after the first round of the draft. “So we can try to bring him back, and if he doesn’t want to come back or opts to go somewhere else, that’s his prerogative.
