Summary

The June Medical Services v. Russo decision is in, and it's 5-4 in favor of the very obvious truth: Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt already decided this shit. Chief Justice John Roberts is forced to concur, but his dissent lays out a troubling roadmap for the next round of anti-choice restrictions. Jess and Imani explain all of this and more. And on Tuesday June 30 at 11am ET, join Jess and Imani for an Instagram Live discussion of the case at https://www.instagram.com/rewire.news — tell your friends! If you'd like to support Boom!
