Conservative judge could block nationwide abortion pill access any day now, as Dems fight for even broader access

An upcoming ruling by a conservative judge could lead to a ban on medication abortion in the U. S., but advocates for abortion healthcare filed their own lawsuit Friday to expand access.

U. S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, is expected to rule on a lawsuit filed last year by anti-abortion organizations. The groups seek to force the Food and Drug Administration to withdraw its decades-old approval of mifepristone, one of the two medications used for the medical termination of pregnancies.

The lawsuit was filed by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) — a prominent conservative legal advocacy organization designated as an extremist hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center due to its decades-long work against LGBTQ rights — on behalf of four organizations and four doctors who object to the FDA’s authorization.

“We ask the court to hold the FDA accountable for its reckless, unlawful behavior,” said Erik Baptist, a senior counsel with the ADF, an organization that was also involved in the Mississippi case that eventually led to the overturn of Roe v. Wade last year.

A ruling is expected any day now, and a decision in favor of the anti-abortion organizations could immediately block the sale of mifepristone.

But a group of Democratic attorneys general fought back Friday with a lawsuit of their own, seeking to make access to mifepristone easier.

Trump’s White House accomplishments aren’t so easy to sell on the campaign trail

Donald Trump faces a dilemma just months into his third run for president: Two of his most important achievements from the White House have become politically complicated or just plain too hot to touch.

Operation Warp Speed, the public-private partnership that developed a coronavirus vaccine in record time and which Trump once called a “miracle,” has become vilified among a group of conservatives. And the toppling of Roe v. Wade by Trump-appointed Supreme Court justices has turned into a political Rorschach test for Republicans, with one camp seeing it as a boost at the ballot box and the other fearing it is a hindrance.

The tension over how and whether or not to lean into vaccines or abortion has been on display since Trump kicked off his presidential campaign.

Elsewhere, Trump has praised the anti-abortion movement and his role in picking conservative justices, but has also criticized some leaders in that movement for not doing enough in the 2022 midterm election. He has also said the issue was “poorly handled” by Republicans, pointing to members and candidates who advocated for no exceptions to bans on abortion.

Like “terrorism”, drugs, etc. Or abortion. There’s no science that says abortion is a threat to people. Period.

Like every word just makes it worse for them…. lol
