However, the US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals is leaving in place parts of the ruling that halted changes the FDA made to the rules around the drug that expanded access to medication abortion pills. Those changes include the FDA’s end of the requirement that mifepristone be picked up in person, the agency’s approval of a generic version of the drug, and adjustments the FDA made to the label instructions for the drug’s use.

Fucking ridiculous.

It’s worse than ridiculous.

It’s insidious.

The ruling looks like it was TAILORED to APPEAR favorable to abortion rights, while simultaneously blocking the corrective measures that were responsive to the denial of women’s access to doctors and reproductive health services caused by medical abortion bans and the shuttering of Planned Parenthood clinics.

A totally disingenuous ruling.

SAD!!’

Pretty much. And I have zero faith that SCOTUS will uphold availability. They have no problems ruling for their pet issues on technicalities. SCOTUS may very well rule that the FDA process was not upheld to whatever standards from the 19th - or even 16th, heh - century they deem "relevant" in their zealotry. And then all of a sudden they will have severely curtailed access to abortion without even issuing a ruling about abortion.

Unfortunately / tragically, I can’t disagree.

The SCOTUS as it is currently constituted is no longer worthy of respect.: They , along with “republican presidents” and “republicans” in congress, etc, bear a large share of the blame for the erosion of the rule of law and the subsequent lawlessness in society. And if the corrupt orange traitor and Co. aren’t held to account for the numerous crimes they committed, then the death of the rule of law may be at hand.

SAD!!!

Your perspective on reproductive health and women's rights is spot on. SCOTUS is sold on the false perspective that life must be protected as soon as it is formed without acknowledging that the government doesn't recognize that life until childbirth.

here's one which might have the foetal personhood/endangerment crew in a muddle:

Walgreens' staffer follows 2 women suspected of shoplifting out of the store to their car where, it's claimed, one woman sprayed him with mace... whereupon he pulled out his gun and shot one of the women who was 7 months pregnant because he was 'scared'.

The 2 women fled by car and the shot woman was left at a hospital, where doctors had to perform an emergency caesarian to deliver the baby who was, very fortunately, not injured by bullets.

SO the guy says he was acting in self-defense. The investigation's ongoing. And much as people might shout the women were thieves (yet to be proven), the unborn wasn't. This man discharged a gun at a pregnant woman, threatening to harm or even kill the unborn.

so which will it be, gun-loving, pre-born fetishising nut jobs? which is more important: the foetus or the gun?

In a brief order issued by Justice Samuel Alito, the court put on hold in full a decision issued by Texas-based U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk that handed a sweeping victory to abortion opponents. Both the Justice Department and Danco Laboratories, which makes the brand version of mifepristone, Mifeprex, had asked the court to immediately step in.

Alito said the hold would remain in effect until midnight on Wednesday. The temporary stay gives the justices time to consider would(sic) next steps to take.

Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis is scheduled to sign a set of health care bills Friday afternoon to enshrine access to abortion and gender-affirming procedures and medications, as the Democrat-led state tries to make itself a safe haven for its neighbors, whose Republican leaders are restricting care.

I have zero faith in this partisan SCOTUS. The final ruling will tell the tale. Until then, women - as so often it goes - are left at the whims of men legislating women's issues. From a male perspective of ignorance.

Life begins in the ovaries of women and in the testicles of men. Men should be prohibited from masturbating through the use of government issued chastity belts with electronic sensors that would alert female morality police.

No wet dreams allowed. The sensors would alert female authorities before ejaculation can take place, thus protecting defenseless sperm and preventing the man from making a terrible and life altering mistake.

Hey, I stand for the unborn AND for men. Sperm should only be ejaculated for procreation purposes. Think of the mental health problems that men will suffer later in life if they kill defenseless sperm by spilling it on bedsheets.

It's time for women to start regulating what men can do with their bodies.

Matthew Kacsmaryk, the Texas judge that blocked access to the abortion pill mifepristone last week, removed his name from an article that criticized transgender care and abortion protections on religious grounds during his judicial nomination process, all but ensuring it would not be brought up during the confirmation process, according to the Washington Post.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/15/matthew-kacsmaryk-law-review/

Kacsmaryk asked for his name to be removed from the article for “reasons I may discuss at a later date” and be replaced by two coworkers at the religious freedom-focused law firm First Liberty Institute where he worked, according to emails obtained by the Washington Post.

smarmy sleazebally piece of underbelly

The article was not disclosed by Kacsmaryk—who had already been interviewed by Republican Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas) and John Cornyn (Texas)—in a questionnaire submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee, which reviews all judicial nominations and requires nominees to disclose all published work.
The article, titled “The Jurisprudence of the Body,” argues that religious physicians “cannot use their scalpels to make female what God created male” and “cannot use their pens to prescribe” abortion medication “designed to kill unborn children.”

After a slew of miscarriages, Anya Cook had finally allowed herself to get excited about her pregnancy at the 15-week mark. She even had a name planned out for her daughter—Bunny. Cook’s hopes, however, were dashed after she realized her water had broken prematurely while leaving dinner at nearly 16-weeks.

Cook rushed to the emergency room, but when she was finally seen by a doctor, she was told that “because of the state’s abortion law, he could not induce labor.” She was essentially told to leave, offered antibiotics, and a nurse told her that she “promised to pray for her.”

The next day Cook would go on to pass her fetus in a public bathroom and almost end up dying in the operating room from losing too much blood.

a 10-year old is NOT an adult. period.
a 10-year old's body is NOT designed to carry a healthy pregnancy to full term and normal delivery. period.
a 10-year old's body is not 'designed' to be shot at, nor is less important to keep safe and well than a pre-term foetus.

SCOTUS punted until Friday on mifepristone.

Should have been a slam dunk easy decision in favor of keeping access. But it's not because they are legislating from the bench and trying to cram their morality down America's throat. (And if Americans don't bother to fight back, that's exactly what is going to continue happening.)

States rights my ass. A bunch of goddamn zealots.

Supreme Court pauses abortion pill restrictions from taking effect during appeal​

The decision is a temporary victory for the Biden administration that for now, keeps the Food and Drug Administration’s authority on drug approvals.

The zealots managed to give themselves time on an issue which shouldn't even be up for debate.
