We can thank the good ol' christian right for that. But guess what, you're gonna see it's the really religious who were kept from learning about their bodies and sex in the first place that will be the biggest customers of these pills. Mark my words. 😆
Lets not act like the Republicans have nothing at all to do with the continuing reduction/elimination of abortion rights at all, and like they do not now have their eyes on reducing access to or eliminating birth control altogether.
Republicans need to put their actions where they say their morals and religion are. Kind of like how all the right wing Supreme Court justices we have today promised in their nomination hearings that Wade v. Roe was stare decisis (settled law) and they would not overturn it. Where's your condemnation for them?
I do not, and will never, understand why people look past the actions of the bad guys and solely to the perceived faults of the only group actually trying to change things for the better, or at least protect the rights we still have.
Where's your condemnation for the party that actually did this, SupraMario?
Not the guy you are responding to but it is pretty easy to comdemn both. Of course the Republicans are most responsible but that doesn't mean Democrats couldnt have done anything to stop it
The drug itself is not illegal. The regressive states couldn't necessarily charge you just because you have an FDA approved drug.
What is illegal in these states is the treatment itself and prescribing the treatment. The drug is a means of abortion, but the act of abortion is what's illegal.
So prescribing it and taking it in a shit hole state could get you jailed, but nothing to stop these companies from selling it in those states, right? Say a customer was traveling through had a valid out of state prescription and was planning to use it after exiting the shithole state.
Walgreens and CVS should step up and make sure this is as widely available as possible.
Devil's advocate would say that it is then the pharmacy could get in trouble for providing the pill. Sure, the Federal government won't go after them. Pharmacists do have state issues licenses however.
But you are right, I don't disagree! Perhaps could get it mailed in? That's what all those online only erectile dysfunctional sites do. Shipping through USPS is federal too.
