The Supreme Court lawsuit concerning women’s access to the abortion pill, mifepristone, has seen a new development. Attorneys General from Missouri, Idaho, and Kansas have submitted a joint motion to intervene in the case, titled U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) vs. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine. If accepted, the move would grant the states plaintiff status in the lawsuit, ensuring that the legal challenge continues, even if the verdict concludes that the pro-life doctors who initially contested the FDA’s endorsement of mifepristone lack the legal standing to do so.
Earlier, the Supreme Court decided to hear a case on whether to uphold a federal appeals court ruling that prohibited mail-order abortions and defended women from hazardous abortion pills. The justices found that the FDA’s process of approving abortion drugs was flawed but remained standing due to the lapse of time since it initially occurred.
The lawsuit is crucial as it sheds light on how abortion pills endanger women’s health. Conservative activists eagerly await the Supreme Court’s verdict, expecting the abortion pill’s approval to be invalidated due to the established health risks.
Allegedly, the FDA violated federal law by inappropriately approving abortion-inducing drugs and disregarding potential impacts on women. It removed all but a few necessary safeguards around mifepristone without studying the cumulative effects of these changes. Furthermore, the FDA revoked the reporting requirement for non-fatal adverse events resulting from consumption of these drugs, ultimately increasing the risk to women’s health.
Joe Biden headlined a pro-abortion rally today and promised he would sign legislation to kill babies in abortions up to birth if Democrats win complete control of Congress this November.
“Give me a Democratic House of Representatives and give me a bigger, bigger Democratic Senate where we will pass a new law restoring and protecting Roe v Wade, and I will sign it up immediately,” he said.
On the flip side, he promised to veto any bill that limits abortions, even abortions up to birth.
“As long as I have the powers of the presidency know this, if Congress passes a national abortion [ban] bill, I will veto it,” Biden said to cheers.
