Florida and Texas have filed a lawsuit challenging more than two decades of federal government decisions that cleared the way for the use of abortion drugs — and said the availability of the drugs through the mail has interfered with state laws designed to prevent abortions.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in federal court in Wichita Falls, Texas, by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton alleges that decisions by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration dating back to 2000 were "arbitrary, capricious" and an "abuse of discretion" and should be rejected.
"The United States Food and Drug Administration is responsible for 'protect(ing) the public health by ensuring that … drugs are safe and effective. Yet the FDA's approval and deregulation of abortion drugs have placed women and girls in harm's way," the 120-page lawsuit said, partially quoting from a federal law.
The lawsuit focuses on mifepristone, a drug that stops pregnancies. Another drug, misoprostol, is used to induce contractions and cause women's bodies to expel tissue. ACLU lambasts the lawsuit, saying it has nothing to do with the medication's safety
The American Civil Liberties Union blasted the lawsuit, which it said is one of three cases across the country targeting Mifepristone. It said mifepristone is used in two-thirds of U.S. abortions.

The abuses of the people by the government are never going to come to an end until more people begin calling for the abolition of these agencies.
..... which should not exist anyways. The bureaucracies are unconstitutional.
Because we willingly fail the Constitution, the Constitution cannot do its job to protect us. The U.S. Constitution needs us and it needs us badly.

If I can order, through the mail, drugs banned in my state, that would certainly be grounds for ordering firearms, regular capacity gun magazines, alcohol, and anything else that’s banned.
Might as well sell homebrew tonsillectomy kits and appendectomy kits as well.
Sometimes I get the feeling that a pregnancy is not considered a type of hosting in a new person, but that it can be removed like those pesky tonsils when they flare up, or perhaps the appendectomy, if your gut starts keeling you over and “it’s” just a clutter of cells, just like tonsils and appendix. So we’ve been told that a fetus is kind of the same thing, even though it is wrong, stupid, and murderous.
Thanks for posting!
