The abortion pill argument was a surreal one for me, as I graduated in the same small high school class as Erin Hawley, who argued the case. And unlike a lot of the current GOP grifter class (such as her husband), she's been 100% pro-life going back to middle school days when we would go back and forth on the issue in the school library. The abortion pill argument was always going to be a tricky one to make (as we saw with the questions posed by the justices yesterday), but I can't think of anyone who has been preparing more (her whole life in this case) to present those arguments.

What's going to be interesting to watch is to what extent Lucas Kunce (the Democrat running against Josh Hawley for the Missouri Senate seat) is able to make Erin's efforts a campaign issue, while Josh is trying to moderate his stance on the issue a bit. Should make for an interesting Senate race this fall.

I can think of one bridge a Ukrainian would want to ram with a ship - but it's in Ukraine, not in the USA.
