Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

SCOTUS Hearing Arguments in Case That Could Restrict Nationwide Access to Abortion Pill

HeadlineMar 26, 2024

The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing arguments today in a case that could severely limit access to the abortion pill mifepristone, which is used for roughly two-thirds of all U.S. abortions. Last year, the 5th Circuit Court sided with a right-wing Texas judge who ruled the FDA improperly eased regulations on the pill to make it more accessible. The Supreme Court that overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022 will now decide whether to reverse the FDA measures, which made the pill available through the mail and via telemedicine. It could also roll back the FDA’s decision to lengthen the window within which mifepristone can be taken, which is now through 10 weeks of gestation.
