The Supreme Court has been critical in deciding major issues in recent years. Thanks to its strong conservative majority, the court has rolled back many progressive decisions and laws. The biggest, of course, was the ending of Roe v. Wade in 2022.
The court has also restricted blue states’ ability to hinder Americans’ Second Amendment rights and repeatedly upheld Americans’ religious rights.
This week, they ruled on yet another abortion issue. A group sued to reverse the FDA’s approval of mifepristone, a drug that many claim is dangerous to women. This decision could have derailed Biden’s attempts to undermine pro-life states. Instead, the court shocked Americans everywhere.
From Fox News:
The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled against a challenge to the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) regulatory approval process of the abortion drug mifepristone, in the latest abortion case since the landmark decision in 2022 that overturned Roe v. Wade…“The plaintiffs have sincere legal, moral, ideological, and policy objections to elective abortion and to FDA’s relaxed regulation of mifepristone,” he said. “But under Article III of the Constitution, those kinds of objections alone do not establish a justiciable case or controversy in federal court.” The case was remanded back down to the Fifth Circuit consistent with the Court’s opinion.
This will not make many conservatives happy. The Supreme Court shut down a challenge to the FDA’s approval process for the abortion drug mifepristone. While they respected the moral views of those who brought the lawsuit, they claimed they did not have “standing” to prevent a drug from being “less available” to others.
This is troubling since the issue was how the FDA lacked rules in 2000 to approve mifepristone. The agency bowed to political pressure to approve the drug, as the then-Bush administration was fighting for pro-life policies. Democrats within the bureaucracy forced the FDA to get this drug on the shelves.
Shockingly, this didn’t seem to concern the Supreme Court. The issue was whether the FDA lowered its standards and approved a dangerous drug. Instead, the court dickered around with “standing” issues in what appeared to be a cowardly way out of the fight.
What this means is that mifepristone will still be available. And Biden will undermine state laws to ship this deadly drug to fearful women across the country. Untold harm will be done to women and unborn children, thanks to the court.
Key Takeaways:
- The Supreme Court rejected a challenge to the FDA’s approval process for the abortion drug mifepristone due to lack of “standing.”
- The FDA approved mifepristone in 2000 under political pressure, and the Supreme Court’s focus on “standing” issues is concerning.
- Mifepristone will continue to be available, potentially undermining state laws and causing harm.
