Abortion Duel

[Rajoo]

As predicted by some legal experts when the Catholic Court of the US outlawed Roe vs. Wade, its going to create a mess. Here is one.

A Texas (Trump) judge who had been licking chops to judge on this case finally ruled that the FDA approval of the two pills were botched so the pills are no longer safe to use. It had been safe to use for over twenty years but now this judge says.

“The Court does not second-guess FDA’s decision-making lightly,” Kacsmaryk wrote in the 67-page opinion. “But here, FDA acquiesced on its legitimate safety concerns — in violation of its statutory duty — based on plainly unsound reasoning and studies that did not support its conclusions.” He added that the agency had faced “significant political pressure” to “increase ‘access’ to chemical abortion.”

Not so fast ruled a federal judge in Washington.

A federal judge in Washington state on Friday ordered the Food and Drug Administration to not roll back its approval of a widely used abortion drug, siding with a group of Democratic state attorneys general who challenged dispensing restrictions.

Wisely, the TX judge has given the FDA time to appeal his decision, but the Washington ruling is in effect. Will be very interesting how the SCOTUS decides on this and doubt they can sit on this.

Moving forward I believe that rulings on abortions for Federal judges in Red states will be totally ignored by the Blue states and we will eventually have a total disconnect between the two.
