The Supreme Court May Shut Down Emergency Abortion Care

Just two years ago, the Supreme Court did the unthinkable: the conservative justices stripped women, nonbinary people, and trans people of their nationwide right to abortion care by overturning Roe v. Wade. The Dobbs decision reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, and sent shockwaves through the country — further eviscerating any lingering belief that the Trump-packed Supreme Court would respect individual rights and rule of law above radical right-wing ideology.

The Supreme Court has since made clear that overturning Roe was not the end game: it’s the launchpad for further attacks on abortion access and essential healthcare in all 50 states. And this term, the radical conservative justices seem ready to shut down emergency, stabilizing abortion care in Moyle v. United States and Idaho v. United States — consolidated cases that could radically rewrite the federal Emergency Medical Treatment And Labor Act (EMTALA).

Take Back the Court raises awareness about the urgent need to expand the number of seats on the Supreme Court to address the theft of the court by Senator Mitch McConnell during the Obama Administration. Without adding seats, Congress will not be able to restore the right to vote, ensure reproductive freedom, protect workers, halt our climate emergency, or pass new legislation. Court expansion, which can be accomplished without a constitutional amendment, is the only reform that enables the un-rigging of the system and the restoration of democracy.
