Stateside with Kai and Carter: Why the fight over abortion in US isn’t finished

What's the fourth?

OK, so the fourth thing is that the Trump administration has taken kind of a baby step to limiting abortion access.

And the FDA has agreed to review the safety of mifepristone.

Stateside with Kai and Carter: Why the fight over abortion in US isn’t finished

Now, remember, mifepristone is safe.

Today in Focus
Stateside with Kai and Carter: Why the fight over abortion in US isn’t finished

That is not really something that is up for debate.

Nevertheless, the FDA, because it's reviewing it, could change the terms of access to mifepristone.

They could make it harder for abortion providers to mail it.

They could make it harder for abortion providers to access it.

Stateside with Kai and Carter: Why the fight over abortion in US isn’t finished

We don't know what they're going to do and we don't know when they're going to do it.

Anti-abortion activists have actually gotten kind of mad over the FDA review because they feel like it's being slow walked.

So we will see in the coming months and years if anything ultimately comes out of the FDA.

Today in Focus
Stateside with Kai and Carter: Why the fight over abortion in US isn’t finished

Yes, that is the question of whether or not the FDA can do anything at all right now seems to be a big one.

I mean, ultimately, abortion is going to end up back at the Supreme Court in some form or fashion.

Today in Focus
Stateside with Kai and Carter: Why the fight over abortion in US isn’t finished

We don't really know how much appetite the Supreme Court justices have for this issue.

Today in Focus

Stateside with Kai and Carter: Why the fight over abortion in US isn’t finished

There's so many disagreements around what states owe each other when it comes to enforcing abortion laws that the Supreme Court is probably going to have to weigh in at some point.

Stateside with Kai and Carter: Why the fight over abortion in US isn’t finished

The thing, though, that I'm really keeping an eye on is what is the anti-abortion movement doing?

Today in Focus
Stateside with Kai and Carter: Why the fight over abortion in US isn’t finished

This is a movement that is incredibly motivated, right?

Today in Focus
Stateside with Kai and Carter: Why the fight over abortion in US isn’t finished

If you believe that abortion is the killing of an innocent baby, that's a belief that's probably going to keep you extremely committed.

Today in Focus

Yeah.
