This pill was about to be approved nationally, until a Trump-appointed Federal District judge in Texas suspended its introduction writ large. That ruling will likely go before Circuit judges next, and perhaps all the way to the SCOTUS.
You know my position on abortion rights: the elephant in the room is that abortion vs. right to life is often all about who gets to control women and their bodies -- abortion rights say it's the woman who decides about her body. Right to life prefers to set down judicial touchstones, which they, of course, never describe as judicial activism, when in fact it's nothing but that. They also like when legislatures, where men rule, call the tune in a given state.
The fun part is examining the individual and collective male mindset of right-to-lifers: are their relationships with their likely better halves 50-50? Are they controlling, possessive and directional in tone? You bet they are. In Quebec, we call these women les femmes soumises.
You know me and how much fun I have in describing these men: insecure about and pondering the question of penis inadequacy, trying to boost their individual manliness in the wake of a troubled sexual identity, and the list goes on.
My own father used to say, never let a woman get over you. I can tell you that he got nowhere with my mother. LOL. But all of you get that mentality, that idea of knowing what is "best" for women is, of course, quite naturally, what is best for men! Unreal. It all goes back to the former honour and obey in marriage vows.
In 2023, I won't be fighting women's battles for them. I expect they will do that all on their own. And win. And if some men can't accept that, then fuck 'em.
