to undermine the fda but it s important to know tha that s exactly what woul happen, and even if you don care about abortion we know th majority of americans do car about abortion, and are with u on this issue, including 49% o republicans, and want to see medication abortion approved even if you don t care about abortion the fact that this would undermine decades of fda authority is chilling, i should affect every single american, everyone should be outraged we ve seen strong statements from the doj, president, vic president. the democrats in congress. and it s important to note that - the already settled up and ready to fight, it s gonna b critical what happens in the next couple. wakes - actually brought that case laura, i don t like to weigh into your lane there was something interestin that the judge said. judge kacsmaryk, said the fda face political pressure to quote, increase access t chemical abortion. what we re calling medicatio abortion it s almost like he was saying part
the already settled up and ready to fight, it s gonna b critical what happens in the next couple. wakes - actually brought that case laura, i don t like to weigh into your lane there was something interestin that the judge said. judge kacsmaryk, said the fda face political pressure to quote, increase access t chemical abortion. what we re calling medicatio abortion it s almost like he was saying part of his ruling was to give the fda cover from what he say is the pressure that they ar facing to increase access. i d like to see is evidence for. that i don t know how tha works? it s interesting, a lot o these arguments aren t eve arguments that the plaintiff proves made. at the hearing on this, week ago, he was of a outpourin different arguments, ways to knock this down that the group themselves hadn t even put forth. it s just interesting how much sort of advocacy you saw, from the judge on some of these issues obviously, he d, say, look o the judge, i have the law right, as a
