The Supreme Court said Wednesday it will consider whether to restrict access to a widely used abortion drug — even in states where the procedure is still allowed.

The case concerns the drug mifepristone that — when coupled with another drug — is one of the most common abortion methods in the United States.

The decision means the conservative-leaning court will again wade into the abortion debate after overturning Roe v. Wade last year, altering the landscape of abortion rights nationwide and triggering more than half the states to outlaw or severely restrict the procedure.

    Guys. This commenter sounds Libertarian-esque to me. In this case, individual bodily autonomy, Libertarians are on our side.

    Some the other ideas however . . .

      I’m a super liberal libertarian. Anticorp, IP is theft. We should use regs to dismantle corps, not build them.

        Yeah. And when it comes to this one issue, Libertarians and Liberals are pretty much on the same page. Maybe different reasons, but the same page.

        The government can fuck off and has no say in my medical . . . well anything.

          Fuck yes we are. Christians showed up at our last libertarian convention to tell others to support freedom. Libertarian kids took up armed security for the protests. We won in Kansas.
