A federal appeals court has struck down a West Virginia law protecting the fairness of school athletics. In 2021, West Virginia passed the "Save Women's Sports Act," becoming one of the first states in the United States to protect the fairness of sports. The law requires that every student athlete must participate on the team or in the event congruent with their "biological sex as indicated on the athlete’s original birth certificate issued at the time of birth." The law doesn't ban...
Democrats have a chance to corner Republicans on an unpopular issue – and defend a modern and egalitarian societyThey don’t need Congress. The anti-abortion movement is preparing to ban abortion nationwide as soon as a Republican takes the White House, and under a bizarre legal theory, they don’t think they even need congressional approval to do it. That’s because anti-choice radicals have begun to argue that an 1873 anti-obscenity law, the Comstock Act, effectively bans the mailing, sale,...
Arizona’s highest court has revived a 160-year-old law banning all abortions unless a mother’s life is at risk and punishing doctors who perform the procedure with prison sentences.
When the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to get an abortion in June 2022, Justice Clarence Thomas suggested that the court “should reconsider” other rights it currently recognizes – like the rights for same-sex couples to have sex and marry.

Struggles over reproductive rights ratcheted up last week after the Arizona Supreme Court upheld a near-total ban first put in place in 1864. Vice President Kamala Harris wasted no time in visiting the state, a major battleground in 2024, to proclaim that former President Donald Trump wanted “to take America back to the 1800s.” But history suggests that when this ban goes into effect, the state’s residents will experience much more stringent restrictions than did Arizonans 160 years ago.

I am 19 weeks pregnant, a legal scholar and a resident of Arizona, whose highest court on Tuesday upheld a 160-year-old law banning nearly all abortions, even in the case of rape or incest. In doing so, the court held that Arizona’s 2022 law, which allowed abortion up through 15 weeks into pregnancy, was no longer valid after the Supreme Court struck down Roe vs. Wade that same year. Many have already explained the obvious legal and common-sense deficiencies in the majority opinion, including...
