Once again, courts are disregarding the judgment of scientists and physicians in favor of political, religious-based, and misogynistic ideology in the Fifth Circuit’s ruling in Danco Laboratories v. Louisiana.
Despite more than 25 years of safe use and strong medical consensus supporting mifepristone, the ruling last week ignores science and decades of history showing the safe and efficacious use of mifepristone here in the US – and abroad – improperly inserting the courts into what should be a medical decision made by pregnant people and their families, and thus denying key rights to millions across the United States.
The Fifth Circuit’s order eliminates telemedicine access to mifepristone—cutting off a critical, and in many cases only, pathway to care for patients in states with abortion bans or severe restrictions.
“The impact will be immediate. For millions of women… obtaining mifepristone through telemedicine is the only way to access abortion care.”
The manufacturers have filed an emergency application in the U.S. Supreme Court seeking to stay this harmful decision.
We will continue to stand for the right of every person to access safe, evidence-based reproductive health care and to make decisions about their own lives and bodies free from government interference.

Are you ready to SAVE OUR American Democracy SHIP (SOS)?
Our democracy is foundering due to actions by this administration such as: Illegal and unilateral wars, killing citizens in our streets, coverup of Epstein files, racial profiling and no due process, genocide threats, bullying, retribution by the POTUS against “enemies”, lowering taxes on billionaires and hugely increasing military budget while cutting SNAP, child care, health care, Medicaid and other services for ordinary Americans, increasing the price of everything due to illegal tariffs and wars. And more. Ready to do something about it?
Here are three Important ways to take action and show support for our Democracy “Ship,”, two on May 1, and one, with WLG/WLGAN, Now:
MAY DAY STRONG (May 1)
On May 1, 2026, workers, students, and families will rally, march, and take action across the country to demand a nation that puts workers over billionaires, with many refusing business as usual through No School. No Work. No Shopping. Click HERE for more info and to participate.
LAW DAY OF ACTION (May 1)
Also: if you are a lawyer, JOIN US at a rally at the Supreme Court 12-1 PM ET, on May 1 to show your support for the Constitution and the Rule of Law, and “re-take” your oath as a lawyer. Register HERE and email camron@womenlawyersonguard.org Subject “SCOTUS” for the meeting place in DC.
If you are not in DC, find a place to rally and do the same, HERE.
AND, WITH WLG/WLGAN

First, the good news: One of WLGAN’s fearless leaders, Cory Amron, has been selected by the ABA Commission on Women to receive a Margaret Brent Award at the Annual Meeting in Chicago, Aug 2, in part because of her work with you all on WLG/WLGAN. It would be great to see you there to celebrate! HERE’s the Notice and here’s information about the award.
Now to the urgent news: Please Find a Place Saturday to Stand/Sit for 1-2 hours. Here’s Why:
How many of your “lines in the sand” has this authoritarian administration crossed so far? Unconstitutional war in the Middle East? Illegal tariffs roiling the economy? Destruction of entire federal agencies with devastating life and death consequences in third world countries? Destroying programs assisting women and people of color in overcoming decades of discrimination? Tearing down part of the White House? Corruption and grift?
The purpose of the No Kings rally is to make it clear that we will not be passive when an authoritarian is trying to take our jobs, our future, and our Constitution from us. One way to send that message lies within your power. It’s not enough to hit the angry emoji on your social media and “share” the latest news.
We have to be even more visible and vocal at the 3rd “No Kings” rally on Sat. March 28 than we were in the second rally; we have to surpass October’s No Kings’ collective, national gathering of 7 Million people.
WHEN: Saturday, MARCH 28.
WHERE: If you will be in the DC area, please send me an email and I will let you know where we are meeting.
If you can’t come to DC, find a place near you using the map at this link.
Wherever you attend a No Kings rally, however, please bring 2 people who are new to No Kings with you.
Also: Save the Date: Friday May 1:”May Day Strong” https://maydaystrong.org/ and,
for Lawyers: “Law Day of Action” https://lawdayofaction.org/
