In surprising move, Trump DOJ calls for dismissal of lawsuit against abortion pill
By Carole Novielli - Posted at Live Action:
Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) is calling on U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk to dismiss an abortion pill lawsuit filed by three states in State of Missouri; State of Kansas; State of Idaho v. FDA, claiming the states do not have jurisdiction to file their case in Texas.“The Trump administration’s request makes no mention of the merits of the case, which have not yet been considered by the courts. Rather, echoing the argument that the Biden administration made shortly before Mr. Trump took office, the court filing asserts that the case does not meet the legal standard to be heard in the federal district court in which it was filed,” wrote the New York Times (NYT).
In the Presidential debate, Trump made it clear that he had no intentions of restricting the abortion pill, and some speculate whether this move was motivated by that position.
The FDA has no authority to approve or allow companies to market drugs intended to kill human beings. https://t.co/m1BA4jodWm
