Last Wednesday, June 26th, the White House told the New York Times that they “opposed gender-affirming surgery for minors.” This statement follows the release of new Title IX regulations that denied the rights of transgender athletes to play on sports teams that align with their gender. Young people have a message for President Biden: allyship is not conditional.

On Thursday June 26, 2024, the Supreme Court published their decision in Moyle v. US and Idaho v. US, a pair of consolidated cases in which the Court considered whether EMTALA—a federal statute that guarantees the right to stabilizing emergency care, including emergency abortion—preempts Idaho’s draconian total abortion ban. In the 6-3 draft opinion, the Court dismissed the case as “improvidently granted” on the basis that the Court should not have intervened as early as it did. The case will return to the lower courts, whose previous order blocking Idaho from enforcing its abortion ban will go back in effect.
