EMILY's List

1. Catch me up: On March 2^nd, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on its biggest abortion case in decades, Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt. Long story short: Texas passed medically unnecessary, ridiculous laws to restrict abortion access. Clinics sued. Now, the Supreme Court is stepping in. 

2. So, is Texas for real? Samantha Bee went digging, and found that Texas state Rep. Dan Flynn, one of the authors of the initial bill, doesn’t actually know how abortions work. Shocker. 

3. Yeah, this is ridiculous: President of Planned Parenthood Cecile Richards isn’t having any of Texas’s hypocrisy. Because if a state does everything it can to stop you from getting a safe abortion, do you really have that right at all? 

4. Thank God for Notorious RBG: Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Elena Kagan weren’t having it either. During oral arguments, they tore apart Texas’s argument and stood up for women’s reproductive rights. Can we fill up the Supreme Court entirely with women?

1.       Celebrities: they’re just like us! (In that they also don’t receive equal pay). Jennifer Lawrence dished to Lenny Letter about how it felt not to make as much as her male co-stars, as well as gendered expectations in Hollywood. http://bit.ly/1Qxc4BF

2.       Twilight is apparently still around: Ten years after releasing the original, Stephanie Meyer released a gender-swapped version of Twilight. Here’s a fascinating critique of the work. http://bit.ly/1ZG18HL

3.       Hamilton does more history: Renee Elizabeth Goldsberry of Broadway’s Hamilton raps about historical women throughout history. http://bit.ly/1NeB6Vq 

4.       Samantha Bee on that Vanity Fair shoot: When she saw the cover touting all the men on late night – but not her – she was outraged. Thankfully, she already had that photo of her as a centaur.http://bit.ly/1LPjzzx
