The holidays are fast approaching, and with them comes cheer and relaxation. But when you’re chronically ill, the holidays can take on an entirely different meaning.

Reproductive rights and justice activists were holding their breaths as SCOTUS decisions trickled in over the last month waiting on the ruling — June Medical Services v. Russo — that would prove to be the first major test for the current court (and President Donald Trump’s two confirmed justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch) on an abortion-related case. On Monday morning, the court released the opinion ruling 5-4 against the Louisiana Law that would’ve required abortion providers to have hospital admitting privileges within 30 miles in order to perform their procedures (which would’ve left Louisiana with only one clinic left in the state....
