Conservative appeals judges tear into Biden administration defense of anti-abortion drug approval

[onthedarkside]

 

A federal appeals court tore apart the Biden administration’s arguments for why the federal government’s regulatory approval of an abortion pill should be left in place – signaling the three-judge panel appointed by Republican presidents will side with a lower court decision to block access to the drug.

 

The judges on the US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals showed sympathy for the arguments put forward by anti-abortion actors who are challenging the FDA’s 2000 approval of mifepristone, a drug used in medication abortion and the actions taken by the agency since that made the pills easier to obtain.

 

However, the judges did indicate they are considering the Justice Department’s arguments that the challengers are time-barred from challenging the nearly 23-year old approval of the drug.

Basically, these judges are ideologues and ignoramuses. 2 out of the 3 were appointed by Trump.

 

The 5th Circuit Is Furious That the Supreme Court Put It in Timeout

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is where law goes to die—a place where the nation’s most partisan jurists recklessly wield their power to enact hard-right policy under the guise of judging... A nightmare three-judge panel heard the never-ending mifepristone case, which seeks to pull the “abortion pill” off the market in all 50 states. The hearing was a humiliating farce from start to finish as Judges Jennifer Walker Elrod, James Ho, and Cory Wilson assumed the role of pro-life warriors hellbent on changing any rules and ignoring any evidence that might stand in the way of them ruling against abortion.

Fully expected result.

 

And for those who are pro-choice, this is actually a good thing in the long run.

 

Just waiting for someone to take up the shoddy Federal approvals for Viagra.

I wonder how many of those judges are women?

 

How many are old and how many are white Caucasian?

 

They don't seem to have worked it out that it is NOT their bodies that will be directly affected, but those of millions of women.

 

I really shouldn't have been surprised as 2 of the 3 judges were placed there by the p***y grabber in chief.
