How the Trump Supreme Court became King George III, Depriving us of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – The Declaration of independence begins with the famous words, crafted by Thomas Jefferson: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure […]
Robert Reich: Bans on Abortion, Birth Control, and same-sex Marriage are at Stake
By Robert Reich | – (Minnesota Reformer) – Overturning Roe v. Wade is extreme, but what’s just as alarming is the logic Justice Samuel Alito used to justify it, which puts a whole range of other rights on the chopping block, too. We enjoy many rights that are protected by the Constitution but not explicitly […]

Abortion: The story of Suffering and Death behind Ireland’s Ban and subsequent Legalization
By Gretchen E. Ely, University of Tennessee | – Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned Roe v.

Roe v Wade: Men benefit from Abortion Rights too – and should speak about Them More
By Stephen Burrell, Durham University and Sandy Ruxton, Durham University | – It’s striking that, as with many other gender equality issues, the positions of men in relation to abortion are rarely discussed. In some regards, this is for good reasons. Abortion is a healthcare issue for women (and trans and non-binary people with uteruses). […]
A revolutionary Ruling – and Striking Down Abortion Rights is only the Beginning
By Morgan Marietta | – The Supreme Court’s decision to reverse 50 years of constitutional protection for the right to get an abortion is more than 200 pages long.

56% of Muslim Americans support Women’s Right to choose, and More Muslim-Majority Nations offer Abortion on Demand than do U.S. States
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – With the striking down of Roe, the Federalist Society’s bought-and-paid-for Supreme Court has allowed states to dictate as they will to women over the disposition of their own bodies. Judge Samuel Alito alleged that it was “rational” to protect a blastocyte, a just-fertilized human egg. No one in history ever […]
