What Happens If SCOTUS Orders Blue States to Respect Fetal Personhood?

πŸŽ™οΈ Boom! Lawyered πŸ• October 2, 2026 at 4:00 AM

Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Boom! Lawyered’s own podcast host.

Louisiana, Alabama, and Arkansas have filed two lawsuits targeting abortion shield laws and the providers who mail abortion pills into states where abortion is banned. Imani examines how the states use fetal personhood to describe their alleged injuries, whether the Supreme Court is likely to hear their case, and what today’s shield-law fight has in common with the personal liberty laws Northern states used to resist the Fugitive Slave Act. Also: why Louisiana put mifepristone, anthrax, and mail bombs in the same sentence.
