The majority of the people making the decisions about what a woman can, should, or should not do with her body are made by men. There are male lawmakers in America, largely Caucasian Republicans, who feel like we, as women, do not have a right to choose what we want to do with our bodies, have a baby, not have a baby, take birth control, or not. How dare they, and who do they think they are? Well, the latest on the fight for a right to choose is this: The Supreme Court has blocked a lower court ruling restricting the use of an abortion drug. The justices granted emergency requests by the justice department and the manufacturer of the pill mifepristone to stop a preliminary injunction issued by a federal judge in Texas.
The Biden administration is said to be very pleased with the decision by the Supreme Court. Essentially, what it does is defend access to the drug in the latest legal battle over abortion in America. President Biden praised the ruling and said he continues to stand by the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of the pill manufactured by Danco. Biden said in a statement: “As a result of the supreme court’s stay, mifepristone remains available and approved for safe and effective use while we continue this fight in the courts. The stakes could not be higher for women across America. I will continue to fight politically driven attacks on women’s health.”
