Mifepristone

Bush One (Clarence Thomas) And Bush Two (Samuel Alito) Justices Are Out Of Control, Abusing Their Positions!

The Supreme Court yesterday delayed a decision on the FDA approved drug for abortion (Mifepristone) access, sending the case back to the 5th Circuit Court, but with eventual decision by the Supreme Court.

The idea of ending access to a drug approved more than 20 years ago, based on right wing and religious dogma, is infuriating, as there should never have been any challenge to a drug that has been deemed safe and effective for a generation.

It is also disturbing that the two Bush appointees to the Court—Clarence Thomas by George H. W. Bush, and Samuel Alito by George W. Bush–dissented in the decision to keep the drug operative until later consideration.

Both Thomas and Alito are clearly the most extremist right wing Justices of the past century of time, even more than Antonin Scalia, and Thomas is also corrupt with his abuse of his position to accept gifts and favors from wealthy conservative activists, making him someone who should be impeached and removed from the bench.

These two Justices besmirch the reputation of the Supreme Court. And Alito went further in his dissent on this matter, criticizing three female Justices in the process, including Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and shockingly, Amy Coney Barrett, accusing them of hypocrisy by name!

This gives a potential hint that by so doing this unseemly criticism of the three women justices, that they might, very well, join with Ketanji Brown Jackson (who was not on the Court until ten months ago) and Chief Justice John Roberts, to uphold Mifepristone access long term!

Theodore Roosevelt, The Food And Drug Administration, And Conservative Attack On Medical Expertise!

In 1906, after reading the novel THE JUNGLE, by Upton Sinclair, President Theodore Roosevelt took leadership and pressured Congress into forming the Food and Drug Administration, under the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906.

Now, 117 years later, a right wing Federal District Court Judge appointed by President Donald Trump, Matthew Kacsmaryk, is trying to destroy the right of women to an abortion drug Mifepristone, which has been safely used for a generation since it was approved in 2000, and is safer than many other drugs approved by the FDA.

This is a clearcut religious extremist decision, without concern of the effect it will have on millions of American women, and it cannot be allowed to stand.

The FDA is appealing this intervention, and this is a tense time as it will have a dramatic effect on the whole political system, at a time when vast majorities support a woman’s right to control her own body and reproduction!

Theodore Roosevelt, were he here in the present times, would roundly condemn this attack on the most basic federal regulatory agency, added to by later Presidents and Congresses who understand the federal government’s need for regulation in support of the American people, and the lack of religious groups having the authority to control Americans’ lives!

If one is religious, do not have an abortion, but do not dictate in a country based on separation of church and state what other Americans’ rights are!
