From our friends at Life Issues Institute<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Bradley Mattes, President, Life Issues Institute<\/em><\/strong>, published March 27, 2024<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments<\/a> in FDA v. Alliance Hippocratic Medicine<\/em> and Danco Laboratories, L.L.C. v. Alliance Hippocratic Medicine.<\/em>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the highlights.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FDA is being sued for its sloppy and political approval of the dangerous chemical abortion pill. Since that approval, the FDA has systematically jettisoned crucial safeguards for women who take this drug. The case presents the Court with an opportunity to protect women and their babies from the dangers of the abortion pill.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total Lack of Concern for Women<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Chief Justice John Roberts<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

During the proceedings, the FDA\u2019s disregard for women\u2019s health and safety was made apparent. When questioned about the 500% increase in emergency room visits associated with chemical abortion pills, a statistic that was not challenged, General Elizabeth B. Prelogar, Solicitor General of the Department of Justice, responded that such visits did not necessarily constitute an event that warranted their concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chief Justice Roberts asked, \u201cIs there a number at which your argument would — would change? A significant number of consequences? A higher likelihood of an emergency room visit?\u201d Ms. Prelogar responded, \u201cIt\u2019s hard for me to imagine that it could\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FDA Thinks it\u2019s Untouchable<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justice Alito asked, \u201cIs there anybody who can sue and get a judicial ruling on whether what FDA did was lawful? General Prelogar, answered, \u201cI think that with respect to these regulatory changes, it\u2019s hard to identify anyone who would have standing to sue\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All About the Money<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justice Alito had this revealing back and forth with Jessica L. Ellsworth representing Danco Laboratories that produces the chemical abortion pills. She danced around his direct questions about money. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"
Justice Samuel Alito<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Justice Alito: How is your company aggrieved by the challenge that is brought in this case? \u2026your version of mifepristone is the only product you are currently marketing, is that right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Ellsworth: That\u2019s correct, Justice Alito. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justice Alito: And the Fifth Circuit decision does not prohibit you from continuing to produce and \u2013 and sell that product, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Ellsworth: That is correct. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justice Alito: All right. And so I gather your injury is that you think you’re going to sell more if the restrictions that previously were in place were lifted? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Ellsworth: Yes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turning ERs into Abortion Centers<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the lax requirements don\u2019t require in-person medical visits, Erin M. Hawley, representing the pro-lifers said, \u201cWhat FDA\u2019s regime has done is turn ER rooms into those follow-up visits.\u201d Thus, pro-life emergency room physicians are being forced to clean up the mess begun by chemical abortion pills when their deeply held moral or religious beliefs dictate that they want nothing to do with abortion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raw Politics at Work<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early last month \u2013 just in time for the Supreme Court oral arguments \u2013 Sage Publications announced they retracted<\/a>, three research papers that supported the facts surrounding the FDA lawsuit. The deletions were done at the request of one pro-abortion person who called the content misleading. Life Issues Institute stated then that this was a raw political decision to hurt the case of pro-lifers before the US Supreme Court and not because of any legitimate scientific concern. The research is sound.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As if on cue, Justice Jackson asked Ms. Ellsworth about poor research. Ellsworth responded, \u201cThey have since been retracted for lack of scientific rigor and for misleading presentations of data.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These oral arguments clearly demonstrated that the FDA and Danco Laboratories lack any concern for the safety and wellbeing of women, and certainly not for the babies they kill.\u201d Keep praying!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking out for Life,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
