Title 10's entire $286 million program is now under threat, even after the Supreme Court unanimously preserved access to mifepristone last June 13, a pill used in almost 2/3 of US abortions. Lawsuits keep coming, aiming to roll that victory back. Roughly one third of sitting federal judges owe their robes to Trump, many chosen for their hostility to abortion rights. Bottom line, the goal was never just to overturn Roe. It's to erase abortion access everywhere. It's coordinated, strategic effort and it's happening in plain sight here in Wisconsin. (02:23–02:33)
