The U S Suprene Court announced a decision today on a controversial topic; that ruling has implications for an upcoming opinion on a subject even more unsettling.
The Supreme Court unanimously upheld access to a widely available abortion pill, rejecting a challenge from anti-abortion groups. In the decision, written by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the court held that the plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the F.D.A.’s approval of the pill called Mifepristone. AKA those bringing the suit couldn't demonstrate that the drug as tested and approved by the F. D. A. woud do harm.
Mifepristone is one of two drugs that work together to terminate a pregnancy. It's approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration through 10 weeks gestation. It was first okayed for use in the U.S. in 2000.
The assiduous lobbying of the right for limiting access to birth control is somewhat reminiscent of their wish to rewrite our Constitution by granting unquestioning immunity from prosecution to Donald Trump.
Here's hoping ...
