It was the perfect magic trick. In late June 2022, congressional interns ran down the steps of the Supreme Court carrying a decision that was supposed to give Republicans exactly what they wanted. The overturning of Roe v. Wade was meant to be a grand slam for conservatives — the pinnacle of our stacked Supreme Court. Abortion was going to be completely eradicated in red states. Zero.

Instead, the legacy of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization has served the Left better than Roe ever could. It gave President Joe Biden the perfect excuse to rally his troops behind making abortion accessible nationwide. His weapon? The Food and Drug Administration. By removing the in-person dispensing requirement for abortion drugs, the Biden administration helped create what would become one of the leading causes of death in America each year: the mail-order abortion pill.
