Four years since the Supreme Court eliminated the federal constitutional right to abortion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, anti-abortion politicians have ramped up their attacks. Extremists in state legislatures, state attorneys general offices, federal courts, Congress, and the White House are targeting abortion access on every front to make it more difficult for pregnant people to get the reproductive care they need: banning abortion outright, defunding and shuttering reproductive health clinics, blocking telehealth abortion, and restricting medication abortion pills.

Why the Trump Administration is Calling Embryos “Children” & Why It’s Dangerous

RileyLatest NewsAnti-abortion, Anti-contraception, Bodily Autonomy, GOP, Healthcare, IVF, Pregnancy, Reproductive rights, Trump, United States

In June 2026, the Trump administration quietly revised a federal grant program to help give rights and benefits to embryos, a move that is aligned with a key legal strategy of the anti-abortion movement. That strategy is one that would ban abortion nationwide, could restrict access to other reproductive and pregnancy-related care like IVF and contraception, and puts pregnant people and people who can become pregnant at even greater risk of surveillance, investigation, and criminalization.

Nine days in June

MorganLatest NewsAbortion Rights, Anti-abortion, Healthcare, SCOTUS, United States

As we await the usual late-June flurry of decisions – some of them quite significant – I wanted to reflect on what I believe to be the most extraordinary June in the modern Supreme Court, which took place four years ago in 2022. In decisions between June 21 and June 30, the court overruled Roe v.
