Pro-Life Groups Ask SCOTUS To Uphold TX Abortion Pill Ruling

[Webster]

(The Guardian) The anti-abortion groups who convinced a federal judge to order mifepristone off the shelves have asked the supreme court to uphold the rulings, NBC News reports. -- The ruling earlier this month by conservative federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk has been stayed temporarily by the supreme court while it reviews petitions from the Biden administration and a manufacturer of the abortion medication to allow its continued access.

NBC News reports that the groups that originally brought a suit trying to revoke the Food and Drug Administration’s authorization of the pill have formally filed before the supreme court:

The groups, led by the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, said in a filing that the court should leave in place a ruling last week by the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals that would suspend several regulatory decisions by the Food and Drug Administration since 2016 that made it easier to obtain the drug.

Lawyers for the groups wrote that the FDA over decades has “stripped away every meaningful and necessary safeguard on chemical abortion, demonstrating callous disregard for women’s well-being, unborn life, and statutory limits”.

They dismissed the government’s “sky-is-falling argument” about the implications of allowing the lower court ruling to go into effect. “The lower courts’ meticulous decisions do not second-guess the agency’s scientific determinations; they merely re- quire the agency to follow the law,” the lawyers wrote.

I can sarcastically say that about conservatives as well.

Having siblings will make you wish your mother would have had an abortion. 😃

My half-sister was the product of rape, so I don't look at the issue of abortion lightly. That said, the simple immutable fact is that abortion kills a human being in the womb and only under the rarest of circumstances should it be allowed.

As to this decision? The FDA, like every other bureaucracy, plays loose and fast with its rules and all SCOTUS is doing here is making sure that they follow those rules set forth by law.

Abortion is a very serious decision and each decision depends on circumstances. I am not pro-abortion, I am pro-choice. That’s an important distinction. I chose to have my two kids with my ex wife. I've never paid for an abortion for a woman and I hoped I never would have had to. I'm just really really big on birth control.

My brother is a one of many reasons, why I'm okay with abortion. He's a piece of shit, I'll have you know. He has no morals. He's assaulted me and he's done nothing but bring me pain. I've watched him hurt my sister. I've watched him sexually harass a guy at work. He beat up an old man and broke his leg and got away with it. He was beating on another man who drew his gun on him and my brother dishonestly played the victim, again he got away with it because the guy didn't file a police report against him. He's beat one of his girlfriends that I know of and her parents called our parents about it and you know how I feel about woman beaters. He does not act like a mature adult. I wish my mother would have aborted him. I was 10 when she got pregnant with him and I was an only child before. I can tell you for a fact my life would have been a hundred times better without him. My mother's life would be 100 times better today if she'd either aborted him or miscarried. I know it sounds bad, but I have spent a lot of time wishing death on him for everything he's done to me and my sister. He's a monster.

I was a with a woman way back in the day who had an abortion. She didn't tell me about it until after we broke up. I an pro-choice but I would have preferred she reach out to me and ask me my opinion on the matter before she did that.

My mother told me that my father asked if she'd get an abortion because he lied about being divorced, he was still married, and the abortion was a means to sweep me and the affair under the rug. You'd think that would make me pro-life.... It doesn't. There are many times when I was depressed, that I wish she had.
