Supreme Court Stunning Decision… Conservatives REELING

The Supreme Court dropped a bit of a bombshell on conservatives in an abortion case decision.

Of all the justices, Justice Alito made a ruling that caught everyone by surprise.

He has, at least temporarily, issued a decision that would allow the abortion pill, Mifepristone, to remain available.

This puts a decision by a lower court Texas judge on hold.

Not So Fast

When Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas blocked the pill on the grounds that it may not be safe, most conservatives figured this was a done deal.

The decision was made based on the premise that the pill was rushed to market and was unsafe.

Mind you, the pill has been out for decades, with more than five million pregnancies having been aborted using the pill.

The challenge of the drug was filed by Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF).

Judge Kacsmaryk ruled, “The Court does not second-guess FDA’s decision-making lightly. 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.”

The ADF claimed, “Pregnancy is not an illness. Mifepristone doesn’t treat anything.”

They are not wrong, but the question here is the idea of this drug being dangerous is even feasible since they now have 20 years of data to go on.

There is expected to be another ruling later this week, so we will have to keep our eye on this one.
