In an unprecedented move, U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk on Friday suspended the Food and Drug Administration's longtime approval of key abortion pill mifepristone, but gave the government a week to appeal his decision that could throw access to medication abortions into question nationwide.
The FDA approved mifepristone more than 20 years ago to be used in combination with a second drug, misoprostol, to terminate pregnancies at up to 10 weeks. Over half of U.S. abortions are done by medication abortion, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion rights. The pills have become increasingly significant in the fights over abortion access that have ensued since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
A coalition of anti-abortion groups, collectively called the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, sued in November challenging the process through which the FDA evaluated and approved mifepristone. They argue that the government did not adequately assess the drug’s safety and should not have made it accessible via telehealth during the pandemic.
The plaintiffs sought an injunction to halt the use of mifepristone nationwide while the case plays out.
The judge on Friday halted the original approval of mifepristone, but he has also decided to keep his ruling on hold for seven days to give the government time to appeal.

The judge is a fucking moron. He actually stated the FDA did not have the authority to approve the drug. If not the FDA, then who would?

Also, 30 minutes after this ruling a Judge in Washington on the same level as this one had a ruling that forbid the FDA from removing the drug from 13 states.

There is no way the FDA can abide by both rulings.

While possibly correct, I would not mind seeing a few examples where the trans people got the girl's scholarships.
I am against trans people competing in girls athletics, as everyone should be.

"It" "will be screwing minors." "It" is not a girl, unless it was born with a vagina, though may be very popular in women's prisons if left intact, when placed there after committing crimes, but claiming to be a girl.
