WITH ELECTION IN SIGHT, SUPREME COURT PUNTS QUESTION OF WHO LIVES, WHO DIES, & HOW

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (June 27, 2024) – Minutes ago, the Supreme Court released its disposition in the consolidated cases Moyle v. United States and Idaho v. United States. Take Back the Court Action Fund released the following statement on behalf of its president, Sarah Lipton-Lubet, in response:

“Republicans learned the hard way in 2022 that their radical plan to restrict abortion access costs them at the ballot box. So rather than deciding whether pregnant women should be left to die in hospital waiting rooms, the Republican justices punted the question past the 2024 election. You don’t have to take my word this was a purely political decision — even Justice Alito said as much in his dissent. As Justice Jackson wrote, the court is setting up a ‘do-over’ at a ‘more convenient point in time.’ It’s just the latest callous example of this MAGA court trying to run out the clock long enough to make Donald Trump president again.”
