Ever since the Supreme Court ruled that states can decide abortion laws, Democrats have been trying to undermine it. Liberals, including President Biden, have been trying to find loopholes to ensure women in red states can still have easy access to abortions.
One of the most shocking moves made by the Biden administration has been to roll back safety standards, so women in all 50 states can order the “abortion pill” through the mail.
This Biden-era change allows women to buy this dangerous drug, without even consulting a doctor. More evidence, it seems, that Democrats want abortion on demand. A group of doctors were shocked by this move and sued. Now, the Supreme Court can once again make history.
From Daily Caller:
The Supreme Court will hear on Tuesday a major challenge to the abortion pill brought by doctors and medical associations…Doctors who sued the FDA contend that the removal of safety standards once deemed “essential” makes it more likely women will require medical treatment, forcing OB-GYNs and emergency room doctors to address the “serious complications caused by these drugs.”…
In 2021, the FDA allowed distribution of mifepristone through the mail and removed the requirement for an initial in-person visit. Earlier, in 2016, the agency removed many of the safeguards implemented when the pill was approved in 2000, allowing it to be used through ten weeks of pregnancy, rather than seven.
The Supreme Court will hear a case can could decide whether mifepristone, the so-called “abortion pill,” can be made available in the U.S. The drug is one part of a two-drug process of chemically inducing an abortion. The FDA approved the drug in 2000—in a process many claim was manipulated by politics.
Doctors have claimed that mifepristone can be harmful. Despite this, the FDA has continued to make it easier for women to access this drug, making changes to the rules in 2016 and 2021.
Biden pushed to make this drug easily available through the mail, in an obvious attempt at defying pro-life states. Doctors who have sued the FDA claim Biden’s push will endanger women, who take a powerful chemical without doctor supervision.
Key Takeaways:
- The Supreme Court will hear a case regarding the “abortion pill.”
- Doctors sued the FDA, which rolled back safety rules on the drug in 2021.
- Biden pushed to make the drug available, to undermine pro-life states.
