A district court in Amarillo, Texas, has banned the prescription of the abortion pill Mifepriston. The ruling could be the most important abortion ruling since Roe v.
Wade. Anti-abortion organizations have targeted the courts to bring about change in the justice system. The phenomenon is called "judge-shopping" and is a strange loophole in a justice system already teeming with politicization, writes Julian Zelizer. The judgment is likely to be appealed and there are indications that the future will carry more and more political fights – in the legal boxing ring.
