Doctors’ case against the FDA on chemical abortions comes after decades of government stonewalling


 By Kim Hayes - Posted at Pregnancy Help News:

After 20 years of delays and thwarted petitions, concerned doctors have finally been able to break through to litigate against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of chemical abortions from the year 2000.
“The FDA failed America’s women and girls when it chose politics over science and approved chemical abortion drugs for use in the United States,” the complaint states. “And it has continued to fail them by repeatedly removing even the most basic precautionary requirements associated with their use.”
The legal non-profit Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) authored the complaint in a heavily sourced filing in U.S. District Court, the Northern District of Texas located in Amarillo. The plaintiffs in the lawsuit include the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG), the American College of Pediatricians, the Christian Medical & Dental Associations and individual Doctors Shaun Jester, Regina Frost-Clark, Tyler Johnson, and George Delgado.

The case will try the FDA’s decades-long defense of abortion and reveals its stance that pregnancy is defined as an illness.
