It's important to recognize that the US anti-abortion movement is one facet – a leading and powerful one – of a global movement whose ultimate goal is to roll back rights for women and LGBTQ people and enshrine the privileges of straight men, of patriarchy, in law. Jodi Enda's report provides important information about this global initiative and its consequences.
"A rightwing Christian lobby group that wants abortion to be banned has forged ties with an adviser to the prime minister and is drawing up policy briefings for politicians.
The UK branch of the US-based Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) has more than doubled its spending since 2020 and been appointed a stakeholder in a parliamentary group on religious freedoms in a role that grants it direct access to MPs."
As Chris Geidner notes, though the bogus Alliance Defending Freedom mifepristone case may be a bridge too far for the Supremes, Alito and Thomas gave a "flashing warning sign" by asking about the applicability of the Comstock act. The right-wing cabal may be preparing to uphold availability of mifepristone only to bring in their "fix" by the back door via the Comstock act.
