Crap......SCOTUS granted tRumps request to reinstate restrictions on abortion pill. 🤬🤬🤬

The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted the Trump administration's request to reinstate long-standing restrictions for patients seeking to obtain a drug used for abortions early in pregnancy -- with the three liberals dissenting in a potential preview of a new chapter in the court's rulings on the procedure.

The order's timing was a surprise, coming after close of business in the waning days of the Trump administration and ahead of Wednesday's possible House impeachment vote.

You could enclose words that are not yours in an excerpt tag so it's clear what's your words and what's not (pet peeve of mine).

Presumably this is not yours?

reinstate long-standing restrictions


If not, I was not taking issue with you

But you see what I'm saying (they screwed up in the article)? 'Long-standing' means it IS happening, so ... by definition it cannot be 'reinstated' since that term means it was NOT happening. Mutually exclusive concepts.

I have long argued young women needed to have them on hand in their medicine cabinets. I also said sympathetic chemists know how to make them. And Canada has them.

SCOTUS is full of assholes. This medication allows a woman to make a sane choice in the privacy of her own home. Her choice. No one else's. Naturally, they would attack this drug first.
