The Left Is Freaking Out Over an Abortion Lawsuit in Texas
The next frontier in the post-Roe battle to save unborn babies is a Texas courtroom, where a federal judge could rule this month that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must remove the abortion pill mifepristone, also known as RU-486, from the market.
The Associated Press reports that the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) has filed the lawsuit, which argues that the FDA used a review process designed to fast-track medicines “serious or life-threatening illnesses” to accelerate mifepristone’s arrival onto the marketplace in 2000.
“Our representatives in Congress created the FDA and gave the FDA the responsibility to make sure that drugs are safe before they’re allowed on the market … the FDA failed that responsibility,” said ADF Senior Counsel Julie Blake.
For its part, the FDA argues that “it didn’t accelerate the drug’s approval, which came four years after the manufacturer first submitted its application to market the pill.”
By Accusing Pregnancy Centers Of False Advertising, Pro-Abortion Politicians Prove They Can’t Handle The Truth
Every state in the United States has a law on the books against deceptive advertising, and pregnancy help centers operate in every state in the U.S., with at least one in 51 percent of all the counties in the nation.
Yet elected officials are proclaiming louder than ever how pregnancy centers use “deceptive advertising practices” to “lure” women into life-saving services. As Roe was being overturned last June, Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., introduced a federal bill called the Stop Anti-Abortion Disinformation Act, or the SAD Act, aimed squarely at pregnancy centers’ advertising practices.
With the sea change at the Supreme Court regarding Roe, such a bill is suddenly extremely important, right?
Wrong. Maloney has proposed essentially the same bill every year for the last 20 years. Twenty years of introducing an order, of sorts, intended to stop so-called “deceptive advertising.”
According to Law Insider, “Deceptive advertising means creating, using, or promoting the use of any advertising material, promotional literature, testimonial, guarantee, warranty, label, brand, insignia, or other representation, however disseminated or published, which is misleading, false, or untruthful.”
The Left Doesn't Just Want to Kill Your Heroes, It Needs To
Another recent attack was the one against Jessa Duggar of “19 Kids and Counting” fame. The Christian figure was accused of having an abortion after being vocally pro-life. The left jumped on her as a hypocrite, and mainstream sources did their best to highlight her as a fraud and a liar.
Only she didn’t have an abortion. She had a miscarriage and was forced to have a procedure done to have the baby’s remains removed from her body so as to prevent infection and disease. The procedure is similar to one that takes place during an abortion, so leftists immediately began claiming that this Christian woman is a massive hypocrite who wants to be able to have procedures she wants to stop you from having.
Again, it’s a weak attack that falls apart upon even the slightest inspection but it doesn’t matter. The point wasn’t to be factually accurate, it was to diminish a Christian figure.

This took balls back in the day. I hope it was played at Tiller The Killers funeral when he was late term aborted.
^Another mental epidemic.
I do want abortion to ba a legal, safe, and rare, medical procedure available when there is medical necessity.
I despise it as a means of birth control save in cases of rape or incest.

Women and doctors sue Texas over ‘extreme abortion bans,’ say lives were endangered
However the laws, according to the lawsuit, don’t adequately spell out what those conditions might be. As a result, women who need such an intervention are suffering severe health consequences because doctors are afraid to treat them, said the plaintiffs in the suit.
Each of the five women who came forward were denied abortion care in the face of dangerous pregnancy complications. One woman did not receive that care until she became septic and nearly lost her life. Four others had to leave the state to obtain treatment.
For their part, the two obstetrician-gynecologists in the suit said they were unable to exercise their ethical obligation to provide medical care. One came forward to speak on behalf of those who were afraid of retaliation, and the second has semi-retired because of the limits put on her practice.
Really it should just be a medical procedure, just something between a doctor and patient with no one else’s input being involved. The left screwed up wanting it to be an early murder, the right screwed up by thinking their opinion mattered.
ABC Joins CBS, NBC in Coordinated Liberal PR Push to Smear Pro-Life Texas Law
“Abortion lawsuit. Five women now suing the state of Texas saying they were denied potentially lifesaving care because of the state’s ban on the procedure. What they’re now pushing for,” cheered GMA co-host Michael Strahan in the first of two teases.
Correspondent Mireya Villarreal had the report from Dallas and began by saying the plantiffs “were more than happy to find out they were pregnant” with abortion being “the last thing they wanted and while they were able to get the procedure done outside of Texas, they are now fighting for women who don’t have that option.”
“This morning, five women suing the state of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and the state’s medical board,” she proclaimed, adding they’ve argued “they were ‘“denied necessary and potentially lifesaving obstetrical care because medical professionals throughout the state fear liability under Texas’s abortion bans.’”

If I may ...
For your consideration ...
And there it is. Everything medially related to woman is "potentially lifesaving care". Not that there was any actual life threatening medical conditions with these women. Just the potential. Scum.
It could really have been lifesaving surgery. Some of these people (lib doctors) would deny surgery to someone just to make that point. Kind of like medical reductio ad absurdum.
Federal Court Reinstates Law Allowing Florida to Defund Planned Parenthood
U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle, of the United States District Court Northern District of Florida, reversed the permanent injunction on part of House Bill 1411, which prohibits state and local dollars from going to institutions that provide abortions. Hinkle stated in his order that the “essential basis of the ruling [in 2016] was the right to an abortion under Roe v. Wade.” But with Roe overturned in the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision last summer, the previous order no longer had legal standing.
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody filed a motion in February to reinstate Florida’s ability to defund the abortion giant. Moody argued that the Dobbs ruling “makes clear that there is no constitutional right to abortion and that Supreme Court cases holding otherwise were ‘egregiously wrong from the start.’”
“The State may thus constitutionally prohibit abortion within its borders,” the motion reads.
Moody announced the court victory on Tuesday.
NY Gov Hochul, AG James Demand That Pharmacy Chains Keep Selling Abortion Drugs
In the letter, addressed to the CEOs of Walgreens, Rite Aid, and CVS, Hochul and James told the companies not to give in to pressure from Republican states to stop selling the abortifacient drug mifepristone. But in doing so, the two officials put pressure on the three companies to keep selling the drug in their state.
“Recent national events have spotlighted the critical role that pharmacies play in providing access to essential health care, including reproductive health care,” Hochul and James wrote. “That is why we write to you today to ask that you commit to making medication abortion available in your retail and mail-order pharmacies across New York State.”
The two officials then blasted a campaign by multiple states’ Attorneys General to stop pharmacies from selling abortion pills. The campaign began in January, when 22 Republican Attorneys General sent a letter to FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf asking the agency to reverse a December 2022 decision that would permanently allow pharmacies to dispense mifepristone by mail. The move clashes with laws in at least 18 states which require that abortifacient drugs can only be dispensed in the presence of a licensed physician, which effectively bans telemedicine for prescribing a medication abortion.
Newsom Axes $54 Million Walgreens Deal Over Their Compliance With State Restrictions on Abortion Pills
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) is saying, "we're done" with Walgreens for restricting access to abortion pills.
Earlier this week, Newsom said California would no longer do business with Walgreens after the pharmacy announced that it would not distribute mifepristone, an abortion drug used to terminate pregnancies, in 21 Republican-led states.
"California won't be doing business with @walgreens -- or any company that cowers to the extremists and puts women's lives at risk. We're done," Newsom tweeted.
Far-left students scream 'F**k pro-lifers' after hijacking anti-abortion event at Virginia university, as protesters throw 'punches', injuring chapter president
- Kristen Hawkins and Isabel Brown's Lies Pro-Choicers Believe event was hijacked at the Virginia Commonwealth University on Wednesday evening
- Protesters came into the room screaming 'f**k pro-lifers' and 'get out Nazi fascists' and 'Nazis go home'
- Two were arrested at the event, but they did not any association with the school, and the Students for Life organization claimed Antifa members joined the event
Roughly 50 incidents of “arson, vandalism, property theft, and property destruction” targeting churches, prolife organizations, individuals and other incidents were initially reported last year after the leak. At least 16 churches, 23 prolife organizations and nine other incidents of vandalism, protests, bomb threats and assaults were reported against prolife groups and individuals at the time.
Jane’s Revenge last June posted a statement online calling on activists to disrupt society, saying “we need the state to feel our full wrath … We need them to be afraid of us” and “whoever you are and wherever you are, we are asking for you to do what you can to make your anger known … To those who work to oppress us: If abortion isn’t safe, you aren’t either. We are everywhere.”
It also posted on Twitter: “Night of Rage: An Autonomous Call to Action Against Patriarchal Supremacy! To those who work to oppress us: If abortion isn’t safe, you aren’t either. We are everywhere. Signed, JANE’S REVENGE.”
The defendants’ attacks on the Florida pregnancy centers harmed the clinics and the women seeking and in need of pregnancy-related services, and created “an atmosphere of fear and intimidation, and destabilize civil society,” the complaint states.
The lawsuit asks the court to enter judgment against the defendants for $30,000 in damages and $140,000 in civil penalties for each defendant.
