On Aug 10, President Trump issued a controversial executive order pushing to change the childhood vaccine schedule, and dredging up debunked theories linking vaccines to autism. Speaking at the press conference, Overton called Trump's order "a historic action."…

The “Messy” Plaintiffs Behind So Many Anti-Abortion Lawsuits – Mother Jones

According to an investigation by the San Francisco Chronicle, at the same time that Mitchell was promoting his client as a symbol of aggrieved fathers-to-be, the Galveston man was evading a felony arrest warrant for allegedly beating up the girlfriend whose abortions he claimed to mourn. In October 2024—a few months before filing his lawsuit—Rodriguez had a violent altercation with his girlfriend at a motel. He allegedly grabbed the woman’s neck as if he was trying to “crush” it, the article detailed, to the point where she “believed she was going to die.” She told police the attack was the eighth time in five months that Rodriguez assaulted her. He then proceeded to slam her to the floor, climb on top of her, and punch and slap her until she finally broke free and escaped, the Chronicle said…

DOJ says Biden unfairly targeted anti-abortion activists : NPR

"DOJ's current leaders' textbook cruelty and hypocrisy are on full display in this report. They insist on zealous advocacy by career staff in advancing the President's priorities, while shaming and firing those who did just that in the prior administration," Young, with Justice Connection, said in a statement. She was referring to Bondi's memo that required department attorneys to "zealously" defend and protect the interests of the U.S., as set by the president. 

"They've put career employees on notice: if they do their jobs, they face potential termination if future political leadership disagrees with the policy goals of prior leadership," Young added…

Anti-abortion groups have a new strategy to end telehealth abortion

Though few studies look at how often people are coerced into having abortions, existing data indicate the situation is quite rare — and certainly less common than the opposite phenomenon of patients being forced to stay pregnant against their will. 

Abortion opponents, however, say the problem of coercion is ubiquitous, so much so that laws and courts should target the health care providers making medication available through telehealth. In a legislative hearing for a Texas anti-abortion bill, activist Mark Lee Dickson argued that the threat of coerced abortions — and telehealth's role in facilitating them — justified specific laws going after medical providers, such as a bill making its way through the legislature that would let private citizens sue anyone who mails abortion pills into the state...
