...United States Supreme Court has begun hearing arguments in yet another abortion case, Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England. At question is a New Hampshire law which requires minors to notify their parents and wait 48 hours before having an abortion. The law does not provide an exception for the health of the mother, but instead an exception that allows a woman to have an abortion only if her life is at risk. The lack of an exception regarding the health of the mother is simply unacceptable, and unnecessarily puts young women in danger. Planned Parenthood is right...
...Senate's more subtle pro-choice campaign will be tricky to pull off because it won't mesh with the high-volume voices of outside groups opposed to the nomination. A national coalition including the country's two largest pro-choice groups, NARAL Pro-Choice America and Planned Parenthood, launched ads in Rhode Island, Maine and on national cable last week. NARAL has launched a grassroots campaign among 27 affiliates around the country timed for the Senate's Thanksgiving recess that will target members by requesting meetings, writing letters to editors and circulating petitions...
...Democratic strategy of couching abortion in other rights issues may be put to the test as early as next week when the Supreme Court will hear the case of Ayotte v.

It will put front and center the basic issue of whether Roe protects the health and safety of the mother. It will also highlight the pivotal role in abortion cases of swing voter Sandra...
...other countries—including the United Kingdom, Canada, and India—have deemed this drug safe for over-the-counter sales. There is also an important distinction to be made: Plan B is not abortion; the FDA itself designated Plan B as contraception. According to Planned Parenthood, “Experts estimate that wider access to emergency contraception could prevent up to 1.7 million unintended pregnancies a year—and 800,000 abortions.” In other words, if Plan C(ontraceptive) fails, and women cannot access Plan B, many will be forced into Plan...
...left-wing Cassandras—who have rushed to condemn Alito as a fire-breathing Roe-overturning conservative—he has a decidedly nuanced record. In his four abortion-related cases, he has ruled in favor of abortion rights three times. Even in the exception, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Alito merely ruled that spousal notification was not an “undue burden” on a woman’s right to an abortion, given that the law provided exemptions for unusual cases such as domestic abuse...
