What an absolute honour to be at the concluding conference of the #InclusivePublicSpacesProject, a European Research Council funded project I had the fortune of contributing to as a participant 2 years ago.
Thrilled to see our article on the cover of @Laws_MDPI!
Excited to share our new cover article on PSED in @Laws_MDPI! With thanks to all the UK stakeholders interviewed for this.

"With sorrow - for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection - we dissent." Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan JJ.

Gonna be very weird if Supreme Court ends a constitutional right to obtain an abortion next week, saying it should be left to the States to decide, right after it just imposed a constitutional right to concealed carry of firearms, saying it cannot be left to the States to decide
I have no words. Heartbroken. Now to dig into the opinion and what will surely be some scathing dissenting opinions from Kagan and Sotomayor.
THE SUPREME COURT HAS OVERTURNED ROE V. WADE, ELIMINATING THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO ABORTION.
