  • One-Two Punch: Trump Administration Blocks Lifesaving Abortion Care and Announces Mifepristone Safety ‘Review’-All in One Day

    3 days ago | msmagazine.com | Carrie Baker

    After the Supreme Court terminated the constitutional right to abortion in 2022, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued guidance clarifying that hospitals must still follow the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA). This law requires hospitals receiving federal funds to provide health-saving and lifesaving abortion care to patients experiencing medical crises, even when state law bans abortion. On Tuesday, June 3, the Trump administration rescinded this guidance.

    This post was originally published in the Daily Hampshire Gazette, with the headline “‘War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength.’ — 1984 in 2025.”As someone who has taught and fought for women’s rights for close to four decades, I find it intensely frustrating how the Trump administration is weaponizing feminist rhetoric and law to attack women’s rights.

  • My Turn: ‘War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength.’ - 1984 in 2025

    1 week ago | recorder.com | Carrie Baker

    As someone who has taught and fought for women’s rights for close to four decades, I find it intensely frustrating how the Trump administration is weaponizing feminist rhetoric and law to attack women’s rights. Claiming to defend women’s rights, they are eliminating hard-fought gains for women and twisting laws meant to protect women’s rights into tools to destroy them.
