I don't think primary voters had much to do with it. It was more that no viable alternative actually stepped up to challenge him.

Dobbs triggered confusion and chaos as patients and providers attempted to parse an ever-changing patchwork of laws around the country during considerable legal wrangling. Some trends offer a possible preview of what is to come before and after the November election.

A Montana woman was devastated when a rare genetic defect was diagnosed in her first pregnancy, forcing her to seek tests and care hundreds of miles from home. She wonders if she can count on IVF, now that just one clinic in the state offers that procedure.

I personally think schools should adopt policies of having no phones at all except between classes and at break times but becoming so obsessed with it that one of your assignments is a "detox challenge" is a whole other thing

This story is hilarious. Guy who is supposed to be teaching AP Biology becomes obsessed with teenagers using their cellphones and quits because he hasn't succeeded. www.wsj.com/tech/persona...

Louisiana could become the first state in the country to categorize abortion pills as controlled dangerous substances, threatening incarceration and fines if an individual possesses the pills without a valid prescription.

A decision could come as soon as the end of June to decide whether Idaho’s near-total abortion ban means doctors who need to terminate a pregnancy during a health emergency would be protected from prosecution under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act.

Some Idaho physicians now advise pregnant patients, or those trying to become pregnant, to purchase memberships with medical air transport companies to avoid potentially significant costs if they need transport out of state for care in an emergency

Not sure how much longer I can stand being on Twitter on this beat. The amount of times I have been called an abortion propagandist for tweeting about people needing emergency medical care this week alone is so damn high

Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is one of the most common complications during pregnancy. Last year, it occurred 54 times at St. Luke's, about once a week.

If that pace continues, that would be up to 20 patients this year who would need to be airlifted to other states for termination because of complications like preterm water rupture, which often leads to infection.

During a press call this morning, St. Luke's chief medical officer Dr. Jim Souza says for all of last year, 1 patient was airlifted from Idaho to another state for maternal complications. Since January, when SCOTUS lifted the EMTALA protection from the abortion ban, it has happened 6 times.

My latest legislative tracker is a mix, including abortion 'coercion' and 'trafficking' bills, a contraception bill that passed in Alabama but with time running out on the legislative clock, and a $2 million allocation to crisis pregnancy centers in Kansas

Powerful story from @kelciemmorris.bsky.social. Alabama subjects doctors who perform abortions to up to 99 years prison, and politicians have created a climate where a person not only has to grieve a child that won't make it to term, but also has to drive 11 hours for a critical medical procedure.

In February, I traveled to Clarksville, Tennessee, to meet Allie Phillips and spend a few hours canvassing her neighborhood, where she talked to people about one of the worst things that has ever happened to her — when she had to leave the state to terminate a nonviable pregnancy.

There was A LOT of repro news over the past two weeks, and you probably only heard about 25% of it if you're lucky. My latest legislative tracker highlights a whole lot more I wasn't even aware of until today.

Right! I got so many downvotes too when the Erowhon episode came out for saying you subscribed to support the main feed content too. I love MP because you can tell a TON of work goes into the episodes. I subscribe to acknowledge that too. But maybe I’m just a triggered former newspaper reporter 🤪

I'm launching an occasional series today featuring the personal stories of individuals who needed care before and after the Dobbs decision, and highlighting how much of their experience was shaped by what year — or even month — it was, and where they lived.

Before Dobbs, abortion was rarely an issue of such significance that individuals and national PACs would pour millions of dollars into state races. But it's a different story now. I did a deep dive into where the money came from in two recent elections: Kansas and Ohio.

As part of her bedtime routine, my toddler has to have a little washcloth that she calls her “nose” cuz she uses it if her nose runs overnight. She didn’t use the one from last night, so I told her she didn’t need a new one. So she then wiped her nose on it and asked me for a new one. 🙄

I mean I know, but it makes no sense to me that that's the way it was devised. Voters elect the representative, but only other members of Congress can get them out before the next election? It feels wrong.
