Federal judge says government cannot restrict access to abortion pill

The White House says the DOJ has already filed an appeal.

Banning the pill had nothing to do with health and safety concerns.

It’s not just for women having willing abortions, in a lot of cases women have miscarriages/baby has no heartbeat so it’s taken to terminate the unsuccessful pregnancy.

Seriously - people want politicians to decide for us what medicines we can take? What will they outlaw next, Tylenol? No politician is going to tell me or my doctor what's best for my health and my body. If I can't do it in Texas, I'll just do it somewhere else.

What happened to the sovereign state, to the fight for FREEDOM, where consenting ADULTS make their own choices? How quick we are to give up freedoms our forefathers fought to secure... If the concern is truly an advocation for child safety how bout we put this effort into ending child pornography, child abuse, under served hungry children, the list goes on, and human trafficking?! The 'powers that be' in this country are consistently over focused on the wrong part of the problems or the wrong issues all together...

It took us years to allow it here even though it had been used in Europe for over a decade with no issues. I'm going to tell you if your intelligence isn't insulted by judge making this kind of Ruling I don't know what would offend a person...a rainbow beer can?

I read the medical description in the box above and I absolutely love it when they never mention anything about what medical and health problems require an abortion, the medical language around the word abortion, or that the pill can be used for things other than having an abortion. Why is that we women just existing and having a choice in our lives is just offensive as all hell to some? Or that anyone needing medical attention has to fight for it tooth and nail sometimes? Or that we argue over WHO is right more than WHAT is right? And why do we keep buying into a system where we have no say? And I mean everyone having no say, not just women.

Send adoption forms to these anti-abortion activists. They want the children born, they can take care of them. Pro-birth isn’t pro- life!

Oh and make sure they’re glad it’s just paper and not wire hangers!

[twotrackjack]

Just another activist judge in Texas overstepping, nothing new here lol

[LaineyBug]

Lets hope they impeach Clarence Thomas before it gets to the supreme court...

[ScarlettHasToast]

I don't think anyone who doesn't even know how many cervical vertebrae they have should be making medical decisions for the rest of the country.

[rootkhan]

I dont agree with abortion but i agree with the rights of my fellow americans to be able to choose. Why is this so hard 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[AbolishtheNFA]

Wait, they can restrict access countless drugs, yet this one is off limits? I personally don’t want the government controlling any of it, it just seems a highly contradictory stance.

[KKarama]

imagine making decisions that affect peoples lifes by force because of your religious beliefs

[ChrisfromGeorgia]

They should also stop all of the sadistic restrictions on pain medication for adult's.

2022 Republicans: "We aren't banning it, we just want to let states decide"
2023 Republicans: "You morons actually believed us?! LMAO"

[evancook]

How does a judge get to decide he is smarter than an entire organization of food and drug scientists lol

[Phin-germayas]

While we are at it, give fathers the right to relinquish parental rights if they do not want to have a child

[brendajohnson]

Better than women being raped and dumping unwanted newborns in the trash, or those who simply are not fit to be a responsible and dedicated parent.
How about spending time and resources to get illegal drugs, manufacturers, and dealers off the streets, and use other resources to help addicts get clean, and homeless off the streets!

[JB-yrvd]

The fact that the pill is labeled “mf” is funny ash 😭😭😭

[nothingtoseehere]

If the government can't restrict access to pharmaceuticals, then, why can pharmaceutical companies restrict access via high prices?
