The legal battle over the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the abortion pill is far from dead. This is despite the Supreme Court avoiding the issue and refusing to decide whether federal regulations authorizing mifepristone should be scaled back.
States Fighting The Abortion Pill
Several states, including Missouri, are fighting this decision. The other states are Kansas and Idaho. All three states are fighting to restrict the drug. Technically, nineteen states have joined to fight the Biden administration’s policy against the family.
Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach said, “We are confident, as the case begins moving again, we will prevail. It is likely that this case may end up back at the Supreme Court. It is a question of major national importance.”
Why Fight The Pill?
The abortion pill brings consequences. It increases state expenses as Medicaid recipients need hospital care following the procedure. And more women develop health issues. Hospital care and medicines are expensive. The state should not have to pay for this chosen procedure. Shipping abortion pills in the mail is a violation of both state and federal law.
About The Drug
The drug was legalized in 2000. It was to end pregnancies up to seven weeks. However, leaving out needed medical professionals from the decision-making, the pill is administered at any stage of pregnancy.
Attorney General Bailey has repeatedly said that he is pro-family and pro-life. He is standing by what he says.
