Oh, 100%.
And this was the abortion industry's plan all along.
They saw the overturn of Roe coming.
They started laying the groundwork for this all the way back in 2000 when this drug was originally approved in the U.S.
Their goal was to always make it accessible like this and ultimately to make it over the counter, which is their next move.
Now, I would argue it's essentially over the counter right now the way it's available online.
Right.
But there are already studies coming out in major medical journals from abortionists about why it would be safe for this to be dispensed over the counter.
That is ultimately their goal, that every person who wants to get their hands on abortion drugs will be able to do so with no medical evaluation, no follow-up, and just abandoning women to their local emergency rooms and obviously ending the lives of hundreds of thousands of preborn children in this country every year.
No, they haven't.
In fact, it's been a huge disappointment that not only because this is an administration who claims to be the most pro-life administration in history, but also because it just is good medicine and good science to reverse the Biden era decision to remove that in-person dispensing requirement.
And in fact,
The Trump DOJ and FDA are actively fighting the state of Louisiana in this lawsuit and asking for it to be dismissed while they do their supposed safety review that they've supposedly been doing since last year.
It should have been done by now and many groups like APLOG, the group that I represent, have been demanding to see results and see results soon of this safety review and for full transparency of what data they used in their safety review.
They have claimed that the in-person dispensing requirement should not be put back into place
while this safety review is being done, there is no medical or scientific reason why they couldn't simultaneously put back into place the pre-2023 in-person dispensing requirement and continue to do their safety review.
And I think most disappointingly for me, recently there was an article in the Wall Street Journal that had a quote from FDA Commissioner Marty McCary, who said essentially that he doesn't even really think about abortion pills.
That...
was a punch in the gut for me because, you know, again, even if it's not somebody who claims to be pro-life, the FDA's job is to ensure that any drug that is approved in the United States is safe for people to take and is being dispensed in a safe way.
And that is not what's happening with mifepristone.
