What do you do when the U.S. Supreme Court says your past reproductive choices could have earned you a prison sentence?

Wade last month. (Aliyah Tihani Salim and Shivana Jorawar, 7/3)

And often they are, though we have selected sub-specialties that are often shrouded in sadness — high-risk obstetrics for me, and pediatric oncology for my wife. We have both watched children die while held in their mother’s arms. (David N. Hackney, 7/5)

Immediately following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, Senator Elizabeth Warren called on the Biden administration to act boldly.

Earlier this month, I turned 50, not exactly the prime child-bearing age of someone you’d think would be fretting over the Supreme Court’s ruling.

(Lorie Ruiz, 7/1)

The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade has already set into motion legal processes to criminalize abortion in at least 15 states, with immediate and catastrophic health consequences for pregnant people. (Jocelyn Viterna, 7/5)
