So with SCOTUS doing the right thing and returning the issue of abortion back to States, AG Garland issued a press release that included:

quote:

And we stand ready to work with other arms of the federal government that seek to use their lawful authorities to protect and preserve access to reproductive care. In particular, the FDA has approved the use of the medication Mifepristone. States may not ban Mifepristone based on disagreement with the FDA’s expert judgment about its safety and efficacy.


My question is how they can justify this position and then do what they did by going after Ivermectin when it has been proven to be safe, effective and an alternative therapy? How can they not recognize their hypocrisy?

I don't think that will hold up under this SCOTUS.

Ok. They can ban it based on it being considered abortion; however.

Merrick Garland is either controlled and told what to do (like Biden) or he is a very dangerous person.

They don’t care.

The world around us is now defined in purely political terms and everything is zero sum.

This is what a cold civil war looks like.

the first thing the left needs to do is to stop referring to abortion as "reproductive care". Having your inconvenient pregnancy ripped out of your womb with forceps and a vacuum isnt healthcare.

Stop looking at them as liberals and start looking at them as communists, because that's what they are. Things will make a lot more sense.

He was appointed by Obama and we were told he was moderate. This is who he always was.

When you hear this kind of rhetoric, you need to celebrate.

This court may be on the path of neutering all of these federal agencies. The EPA is on the chopping block today. If Garland wants to bring a suit or defend a suit with the FDA as a target, I'll take that. If they want to try to use the Commerce Clause to try and grab Federal power, that would also be good.

Every fight the left puts up is an opportunity to take back the power from the Federal Government.

The Ivermectin thing was pure politics. But, they do have the on label vs off label to lean on. Mifepristone is a medical abortion medicine. Ivermectin is not a covid drug, therefore, it would be off label. That's all I got.

But now SCOTUS had a 9-0 ruling in favor of Ruan: Whether a physician alleged to have prescribed controlled substances outside the usual course of professional practice may be convicted of unlawful distribution under 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) without regard to whether, in good faith, he “reasonably believed” or “subjectively intended” that his prescriptions fall within that course of professional practice.


That bolded section basically means “off-label”. The FDA went after clinicians that prescribed Ivermectin off-label.

Libs are seeing the end of the tunnel and the giant red train coming their way. They will get much more desperate in the coming months.

Yes - that's why I said the Ivermectin thing was political. Trump endorsed it hence it immediately became the devil.

The use of this term burns me up. Abortion is the opposite of “care.”

It amazes me some people are still surprised that this guy is not a "moderate". How long does it take to know that this Marxist closet homo is not anything close to a moderate. LOL.

I knew he wasn't moderate as soon as Obama nominated him. Supreme POS would never nominate anyone other than a radical.
