The Supreme Court said Wednesday it will consider whether to restrict access to a widely used abortion drug — even in states where the procedure is still allowed.

The case concerns the drug mifepristone that — when coupled with another drug — is one of the most common abortion methods in the United States.

The decision means the conservative-leaning court will again wade into the abortion debate after overturning Roe v. Wade last year, altering the landscape of abortion rights nationwide and triggering more than half the states to outlaw or severely restrict the procedure.

    Did you actually use my question to excoriate the FDA?

    Here’s news, pal: regulations are written in blood becuase corporations will cheerfully and willingly kill for profit.

    The power corporations have to willfully and cheerfully kill for profit comes from libertarian clowns and their arrogant assholerie.

          Well, the medical rights you imagine support abortion should also support a lot of other medical rights. I chose the FDA because they do things like tell cancer patients they can’t try experimental medications.

            “can’t try”, or “doesn’t work”?

            …because there are boatloads of “alternative” doctors and “medical” distributors in my area

              These were terminal cancer patients and oncologist recommended, but it looks like we’ve made some effort to fix it. They have a “Right to Try” act program now, so that’s neat.

              I think quacks should be able to be sued into oblivion by their patients victims.
