Highlights from the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer weekly television show.
Presented by
Abortion is once again on the docket at the US Supreme Court this year. In June, justices will rule on two major reproductive rights cases: one involving the abortion pill, known as mifepristone, and another involving emergency room abortions. SCOTUS expert Emily Bazelon joins Ian Bremmer on GZERO World to explain the issues at the heart of both cases and why the stakes for abortion rights this term are so high.
“The [abortion pill case] affects women across the country, it’s not state by state,” Bazelon stresses, “It’s the FDA’s authority to allow pills to be shipped everywhere and other rules that have made abortion pills more accessible for women in blue as well as red states.”
A group of doctors is challenging the Food and Drug Administration's authority to allow doctors to prescribe abortion pills without an in-person visit with a patient and for those pills to be sent through the mail. Bazelon explains that this group of plaintiffs is unusual in that they haven’t yet experienced direct harm from the FDA’s ruling, which you usually need to prove has happened before a case makes it all the way up to the highest court in the land. Four female justices are also on the bench this year, a historic high-water mark. Could that make a difference in the way justices rule on either case?
