Don’t let SCOTUS get those keys.

TIME TO REMOVE ALL RESTRICTIONS! PERSONAL CHOICE RULES!

The case about before it even gets to the Supreme Court is interesting. Who has Standing to bring it? To have Standing you have to prove damages. Who has been damaged by this medicine? No one. So has “does” have standing to bring a case to the court about an FDA ruling?

My Opinion: No one does. It’s the FDA. It’s about the nation’s health. The conservative group of Catholic Doctors who brought the case don’t have standing. They haven’t been hurt. Not truly hurt.

Personally, I think no ruling by the FDA should be subject to Supreme Court oversight. The court doesn’t intervene just because you don’t like something!

“…

At the center of the legal battle is the pill mifepristone, which is taken along with another drug to terminate an early pregnancy. Approved by the FDA in 2000, more than 5 million patients have taken mifepristone, according to the agency, and studies cited in court filings have shown it is safe and effective.

In 2016 and 2021, the FDA took steps to make mifepristone more accessible, including allowing it to be taken later into a pregnancy and delivered through the mail without an in-person doctor’s visit. A group of anti-abortion rights doctors and medical associations challenged those changes, claiming the FDA violated the law.

The Supreme Court is now reviewing a decision from a federal appeals court that found the agency’s actions were unlawful. A ruling in the case, known as FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, that unwinds those changes would threaten to curtail access to mifepristone nationwide, even in states with laws protecting abortion access.

Rolling back the FDA’s actions would “inflict grave harm on women across the nation,” Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar told the court. She reiterated that the ruling from the lower court marks the first time any court has restricted access to a FDA-approved drug by second-guessing its judgment about the conditions required to ensure its safety.

The justices focused most of their questions on whether the doctors who filed the lawsuit against the FDA had shown that they may be injured by its actions, and whether those alleged injuries could be traced to the FDA’s easing of the rules. …" news supreme-court-abortion-pill-arguments-mifepristone

Republicans are psychos

Women still can choose to end their enslavement if they always vote blue in every election. The GQP hasn’t repealed the Nineteenth Amendment. At least, not yet.

How, in 2024, are women going back to second-class citizen status? Rhetorical! It’s the MAGA GOP. F**k them and their followers.

Is there ANYONE that has a single doubt what the corrupt 6 will decide on this one?

FIB, if you’re going to lie at least try to keep it somewhere near believable. Most of the folks here aren’t as stupid as the average republicon voter and just laugh at your ridiculous hyperbole.

FJB spreads lies that only the most gullible would believe.

Does anyone think the religious right is going to stop at a national ban on abortion? They are already talking about outlawing contraception for unmarried people. Why would you need contraception if you’re not joined in holy matrimony under the eyes God?

Surely vasectomies must be against the Evangelist beliefs as well. Are they the next thing to be banned?

Interesting how someone pays to be a premium member just to act out their little MAGAt fantasies.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it:

I challenge anyone who blathers on about “up until birth” abortions (like the troll above) to show me one actual example, JUST ONE, where a woman who is within days of giving birth, suddenly decides she doesn’t want to have a child and seeks an elective abortion, and then finds a doctor who performs it.

I’ll wait…

Republicans have decided that they will interfere in your sex life.

Acceptable: “I can’t do X because my religion says not to”.

Unacceptable: “YOU can’t do X because my religion says not to”.

OFF-TOPIC but too disgusting to miss.

They will never outlaw Viagra. There have been negative reports and adverse reactions to it, but no one is complaining about that.

FJB, you are delusional.

@FJB, your baseless assertion that some of us want abortions legal up to the moment of birth tells us that you have no factual argument to offer. Also it makes me wonder: who hurt you? Was it your mother?

Charlie Kirk: Embryos should be saved from a burning building before live babies

Right-wing podcaster Charlie Kirk explained recently why embryos should be saved from a burning building before babies.

Anti science republicans are psychopaths who don’t care about human life.

@FJB So following the MAGA scheme it only abortion only allowable if it occurs after birth and with an unregistered firearm? Seems to be a clarion call of the Xtian Nationalists who are enamored with factless ideology.

Repuglycan idiots believe that where women are concerned, God commands restriction in every possible way.

There would be a problem with the retrumpliqons invoking a national abortion ban. SCOTUS ruled in Dobbs that it’s a state-level issue.

Abortion is too personal and private and must be left for women to decide. Society, religion and politics has no business to interfere.

Yes, keep killing those children under the guise of healthcare.

I don’t think abortion should be allowed past fetus viability if they were born instead of aborted at that time, however premature the baby would be. That would give a reasonable cut-off date. Making that cut-off before most women even know they are pregnant, when the fetus has no life without its mother is something else. I won’t make that decision for her. Up to birth or after? When the child can live outside the mother’s womb, no.

If men could get pregnant, abortion would be covered by every health plan, without a deductible or waiting period.

Ya gotta remember that, according to the Catholic Cartel, conception occurs when papa gets a woody.
