BREAKING: New GOP Lawsuit Against Mifepristone

Just weeks before the presidential election, three Republican-led states are up for grabs brought quietly amended complaint against the FDA in hopes of restoring nationwide access to mifepristone.

A new proclamation from the Attorneys General of Kansas, Missouri, and Idaho seeks to make abortion drugs fully legal for children, and aims to protect abortion providers who still ship drugs to children. abortion for patients in restricted districts. The complaint contends that the FDA has “lawfully lifted its prohibition against shipping abortion drugs,” enabling “50 state abortion economies, undermining federal abortion laws.” .”

In other words, they invoked the Comstock Act and in hopes of halting the importation of abortion drugs—which have been a saving grace for patients in countries that prohibit abortion. (Tele-healthy now for about 1 in 5 abortions.)

And remember, even though the case was brought by three specific states, the ruling would affect the entire country – even the states that represent the election.

Abortion, Everyday It will soon provide an in-depth explanation of modified protest, but the important thing is to know: changing ordinances that allow abortion medications to be mailed; remove mifepristone access to children completely; and restore pre-2016 regulations on mifepristone, which would restore how long the pills can be used during pregnancy, limit who can administer the medicine, and restore individual visit requirements.

The Republican AG also accused the Biden administration of using FDA regulations on abortion drugs to circumvent state restrictions; claiming that abortion drugs are dangerous using data from ‘studies’ that were debunked and discredited; and they argue that states suffer because they are left to care for women harmed by abortion drugs.

We knew this complaint was coming. After the Supreme Court rule that the suit brought by different plaintiffs—a group of anti-abortion doctors—lacked standing to challenge the FDA over mifepristone, conservatives made it clear they would continue with the other plaintiffs. Additionally, because SCOTUS did not rule on their arguments on the merits (it just stood), that June ruling gave anti-abortion groups a better understanding of what the justices wanted.

Like law professor Mary Ziegler showed at that time, “One can read portions of this opinion as a road map for future litigants who *want to establish standing.”

However, the timing of this is interesting: Republicans have been working hard to avoid talking about abortion in the weeks leading up to the election. They know that Americans are angry about abortion restrictions, and that the GOP is still losing votes because of that post-Roe anger.

I wonder if that’s part of the reason none of the AGs have issued a release regarding their amended complaint. I am sure they are not eager to warn the masses they want to create back country ban this is close to November.
