This past week, Republicans dialed up the anti-abortion pressure campaign on the Trump Food and Drug Administration when virtually every Republican senator signed a letter to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. asking the FDA to impose new restrictions on mifepristone, a drug currently used in the majority of abortions nationwide.

The senators ask the FDA to suspend further generic approvals, prohibit telehealth access to mifepristone, and immediately stop mifepristone distribution altogether by declaring the drug to be an “imminent hazard” under federal law.

The Trump administration has undertaken a study of mifepristone, which abortion opponents believe will lead to the restoration of pre-2016 restrictions that disallowed telehealth.

    Backwards cunts wanting to control women’s bodies

    America is fucked

    The only reason someone needs for an abortion is that they want one.

      Absolutely right, but when you look at the US regime and its voters, there are even more reasons that clearly speak in favor of abortion.

        If we don’t have abused, unwanted children, who will ever grow up to be Republican?

        Just kidding, of course. There are plenty of people who suffered terrible abuse without becoming the kind of scum that would want to heap more abuse on others. I would never seriously denigrate the victims of abuse by suggesting it leads to Republicanism.

    1. Abortion is legal nationwide
    2. Abortion legality is state by state, but can be evaded
    3. Abortion availability is state by state and cannot be evaded
    4. Abortion is illegal nationwide
    5. Women of childbearing age are allocated by law to men to be surrogates and servants

    We’ve gone from 1 to 2 and they’re itching to finish the job of going from 2 to 3.
