Texas judge suspends abortion pill approval

[Anonymous]

Legal analysts are saying this case is tremendously shaky. For one thing, the pill was approved by FDA in 2000. Here we are 23 years later, well beyond any statutes of limitations for addressing it.

Also, the plaintiffs should not have been granted legal standing. It was a group of pro-life doctors - they don't prescribe the pill to their patients and therefore had no practical, relevant or first hand knowledge of use of the pill.

Well, I just ordered abortion pills. I will be damned if I’m waking up tomorrow to see one more option removed from my life by these idiot theocrats.

What happens come Saturday?

I don’t know yet what will happen, but what’s been completely missing from the discussion is that this medication is used for miscarriages, and pulling it will force hundreds of thousands of women to have unnecessary surgeries with all their inherent increased risks.

Disgusting.

This affects women across the political spectrum. But as we see time and again, cons don’t respect women as full human beings.

Hmmmm

I think ignoring it would be entirely legitimate.
Didn't the Washington State ruling basically counter the Texas ruling?

Of course it will be ignored. You think people are going to allow their loved ones that suffer a miscarriage to get substandard care because of one loony women-hating judge in Texas?

DOJ has appealed the Texas ruling and asked for further clarification on the Washington State ruling. I think it only applies to states with the Democratic Attorneys General who joined the lawsuit, but I don’t know.

The doctors who need to prescribe this drug and the companies that manufacture, distribute and sell it are not in a position to ignore a ruling by a federal judge no matter how absurd it is. They all have lawyers and insurance policies that won’t let them.

If DOJ doesn't get a stay from either the Fifth or SCOTUS, the FDA will announce it is exercising enforcement discretion to not go after anyone selling the abortion pill. They will have to do this to comply with the WA injunction and doing that would not violate the TX order.

Aha, that makes more sense.

This drug is also used to treat Cushing’s Syndrome.

Does that make it fine for any MD to write a prescription for this medication?

I think FDA is well within its rights to state that conflicting opinions from equal federal courts exist and that they won't change their posture until the issue is definitively resolved. That's a completely legitimate position. I don't think the FDA or Biden administration should declare the ruling illegitimate and ignore it. If we need court reform then let's talk about court reform. But the federal judge in Texas was legitimately nominated and confirmed and has the authority to issue this ruling under our system.
