Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk will rule on the FDA’s approval of mifepristone
I have no idea if the Food and Drug Administration made procedural errors when it approved the use of the abortion drug, mifepristone, more than two decades ago.
Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of the U.S. District Court for Northern Texas is expected to rule any day on whether to overrule the FDA’s approval of mifepristone, the pill now responsible for more than half of all the nation’s abortions. “The major and growing Abrahamic religious denominations — Catholic, Protestant, Jewish — share a binary view of the human sexuality: male and female united in “one flesh,’’ he wrote, quoting Catholic doctrine which hold that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.’’
Pregnancy, they note, is not an illness. Nor, they claim, is there a therapeutic benefit over surgical abortion. Kacsmaryk’s ruling, expected any day, will almost certainly be appealed to the conservative Fifth Circuit Court, where six of the judges were nominated by Trump, and may make its way to the Supreme Court. Whether the abortion pill is available for sale while the case is being appealed will depend on the judge’s ruling.
It is precisely what Democrats warned against when, in 2019, all 48 Democrat Senators voted against his confirmation to the court.
