It always seemed farfetched that anti-abortion doctors could argue that they have the right to ask a court to severely restrict a drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration simply because they don't want to treat women who might experience complications.

Repealing the Comstock Act — the Victorian-era anti-vice law that anti-abortion lobbyists aim to use to ban abortion nationwide, even in states where abortion rights are protected — has just turned from an urgent question to an absolute necessity.

Earlier this week, the United States Supreme Court dismissed an appeal from the parents of a teenage boy who were stripped of custody rights by the state of Indiana for not affirming their son's self-proclaimed "gender identity” as a girl.
Former Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer talks with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer about the decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade and how he thinks this move could have affected the future of the court.
