Because women and their doctors are second class citizens.

because it would mean endless litigation for them. Getting rid of the Chevron Defense is going to cause a lot more litigation headaches as well. If they get something wrong that causes actual injury because they have no expertise in a subject, would WE be able to sue THEM for harm?!

It's a matter of the Comstock Act specifically banning abortion drugs.

The Comstock Act has not been a central part of this case, but the challengers have gotten a little bit of traction at the lower-court level with their argument that the FDA acted unlawfully in its approach to mifepristone because it did not take into account to Comstock Act’s criminal prohibitions on mailing drugs used for abortions.

Prelogar countered on Tuesday that it is not the FDA’s job to enforce criminal law, but that the agency did get advice at the time from the Justice Department about its interpretation of the law.

“I think that the Comstock provisions don’t fall within FDA’s lane,” she said.

Defenders of the FDA have also argued that the Comstock Act’s prohibitions are geared towards “unlawful” abortions, and this case is attempting to limit the access of mifepristone even in places where abortion is legal.

Let's not legitimize this bull. It's a nonsense case brought up before a court where several of the justices are only there because of the special rights that are afforded to Republicans and conservatives.

Since he’s so darned qualified about everything.
