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?

The abortion issue is one of imposing religion on others or not. Many Christians believe a soul enters a fetus on conception but what proof is there that there is such a thing as a soul? If we do have a soul what proof is there of when it enters a fetus? I could go on and on but no one should be allowed to impose their religious views or lack of them on others according to the constituion.

i can't imagine a zygote having any experiences at all. i think the soul enters the fetus late in the term or possibly shortly after birth. i believe elective abortion in the first trimester should be legal. this is the timeframe that most miscarriages occur anyway. it's possible to miscarry without knowing you are pregnant. this is a feature not a bug, and if you believe in their God, well he designed it that way. the medical term for miscarriage is 'spontaneous abortion'. There is no functional difference, even in my mother tongue there is only one word that encapsulates both: abortion.
