Who’s facing calls to retire her gavel…

Justice Sonia Sotomayor. In recent weeks, several op-eds have called on Sotomayor to step down while President Biden is in office and Democrats hold the Senate. Some political commentators are pointing to the justice’s age, her diabetes, and her recent comments saying she was “tired.” Top Democrats are reportedly holding off on calling for Sotomayor's retirement, but they've expressed concern about a potential repeat of what happened with former Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. RBG’s vacancy paved the way to a 6-3 conservative majority. The op-eds come as polls show Biden trailing former President Trump in several swing states, raising concerns there could eventually be a 7-2 conservative majority. However, it doesn’t look like Sotomayor has any plans of slowing down.

The future of IVF in the state has been uncertain since then, despite state lawmakers quickly passing IVF protections.

Women in C-suite roles. The number of women holding executive roles in the US has dropped for the first time in nearly two decades, according to a new report. Out of the 15,000 C-suite positions at publicly traded companies, women held less than 12% of the titles last year — losing about 60 positions from the previous year. Experts point to a lack of promotional opportunities, gender stereotyping, and a lack of female leadership in management as potential reasons for the drop. The report says gender parity in the C-suite won't be reached until at least 2055.
