The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected a lawsuit challenging the Food and Drug Administration’s approach to regulating the abortion pill mifepristone with a ruling that will continue to allow the pills to be mailed to patients without an in-person doctor’s visit.
I’m really, really worried about it. The FDA is going to lose powers it uses to ensure our food and medicine isn’t killing us. The EPA is going to effectively be an advisory agency after this. The FTC looked like it might be back in business this admin, and it’s going to be neutered. I’m not even explicitly opposed to this if our legislative branch wasn’t inept and/or captured, but… we all know it is and it’s not getting better soon.
Hopefully they kill the FDA and all drink raw milk to death, idk.
Thanks! And it sounds like we’re going to be screwed once these are changed.

My republican friends can eat bat at the meat market on the corner, I’m gonna stick with the FDA certified grocery store…
