"More than 1 million noncitizen immigrants (one-third of them undocumented) work in healthcare in the U.S. Their ranks include skilled personnel who would be difficult to replace, especially if legal immigration is further restricted," according to a group led by Lenore Azaroff, MD, ScD, of Edward M. Kennedy Community Health Center in Worcester, Massachusetts.

#Michigan AG #DanaNessel has joined a coalition of 23 other states to sue the #HHS over its termination of $11B in #PublicHealth grants, including 20 grants in MI totaling $379M.

“The #Trump administration is now terminating millions in grants being used in our state to support #vaccine #clinics for #kids, crisis MentalHealth services, opioid abuse #intervention, & to control #disease spread in healthcare facilities,” said AG Nessel.

A divided #SCOTUS on Monday turned away a pair of #FreeSpeech challenges by #abortion opponents to city laws in #NewJersey & #Illinois that restrict #protests directly outside #clinics & #hospitals where abortions are performed.

The court declined to reconsider a 25-yr-old precedent that has allowed local govts to create protest-free buffer zones around #healthcare facilities—a ruling that has long been criticized by some #conservative justices.

Continued thread

The 2 rulings put the 2 states in the “most restrictive” category for #AbortionAccess & policies, acc/to the Guttmacher Inst, a research & policy org that advocates for #ReproductiveRights & tracks #abortion #access.

The rulings could lead to the closure of reproductive #health #clinics in the 2 states.

#Florida’s new restrictions would put the #Miami & #Tampa metro areas -w/a combined population of ~9M people- >500 miles from the nearest clinic in a state w/o a near-total or 6wk #AbortionBan.

#SCOTUS #abortionruling today, per #politico

#Mifepristone now accounts for roughly two-thirds of all #abortions in the U.S., and the number of #clinics offering telemedicine and mailing abortion #pills increased.

#Antiabortion groups and #conservative lawmakers, who are working to restrict access to the #pills in a number of ways, have asked the Supreme Court to roll back rules the FDA issued in 2016 and 2021 that made it much easier to obtain the pills, including allowing mail #delivery.
