Missouri’s attorney general has renewed a push to restrict access to the abortion pill mifepristone, arguing in a lawsuit filed this month that its availability hurt the state by decreasing teenage pregnancy.
The revised lawsuit was filed by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, alongside GOP attorneys general in Kansas and Idaho. It asks a judge in Texas to order the Federal Drug Administration to reinstate restrictions on mifepristone, one of two medications prescribed to induce chemical abortions.
The trio of attorneys general were forced to refile the litigation after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the original lawsuit after concluding the original plaintiffs — a group of anti-abortion doctors and medical organizations — did not have standing to sue because they couldn’t show they had been harmed.
Heavens forbid a young woman have some agency in her fucking life beyond being barefoot and pregnant for some asshole.
I remember in the late 90s and early 2000s when Christian conservatives said that sex Ed was increasing teen pregnancy rates when in reality they had been dropping since sex Ed was introduced. …
We also used to have the Fairness Doctrine, which demanded at least some essential elements of truth. Now our media are Billionaire mouthpieces.
Vote yes on 3, I guess.
I’ve been seeing a lot of “No on 3” signs in people’s yards, right next to trump/vance signs.
Our state attorney general is a motherfucker, no doubt, but it was still a tad surprising he said this, publicly, out loud, prior to the abortion amendment vote in two weeks.
Ah yes, teen pregnancies, the true driver of the GDP. How could I forget? 😂
