Hopefully it never comes to that.

And the Supreme Court, not wanting to hand the Democrats a rout next year, have wisely reversed the decision of the wingbat Texas judge:

And is it only me, or am I the only one that wants to spell Mifepristone with an "l"?
Its obvious you've never watched Dr. Seuss's The Hoober-Bloob Highway which documents how pre-born children select their upcoming life from a variety of opportunities. Each child is shown various possible lives before being inserted into a fetus, and the judge knows this. He's doing what seems to him to be emergency relief. Can't women get some other kind of treatment for miscarriages? They want to wreck the hooberbloob highway for the sake of mere convenience.
At a news conference Monday, Healey said she asked the University of Massachusetts to buy 15,000 doses of mifepristone just in case it gets banned.
"When it goes into effect, it could ban mifepristone nationwide including here in Massachusetts where abortion is legal," Healey told reporters. "We are going to make sure we have enough mifepristone to cover women in the state, for as long as they need."
The doses are expected to arrive by the end of the week. Healey's administration is dedicating $1 million to support providers within the Department of Public Health in paying for the doses.

Massachusetts stockpiling abortion pill to protect access to mifepristone
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey is stockpiling the abortion pill mifepristone to make sure it's available to women during a legal battle over the drug.

Several blue state governors have done the same thing, which is interesting, since the intention of the theocrats is to criminalize the use of mifepristone in every state, suggesting that these governors intend to defy such a law should the theocrats prevail. If so, has America reached a tipping point, where the left no longer recognizes the right as having a legitimate role in government and worthy of respect or compromise? If so, it's been a long time coming, and a constructive adaptation in the same sense that divorce is constructive when irreconcilable differences arise in a marriage.At a news conference Monday, Healey said she asked the University of Massachusetts to buy 15,000 doses of mifepristone just in case it gets banned.

But hasn't the religious right essentially declared war on secular government, a cherished American principle? And the means is a flagrant disregard for propriety and forbearance. Nobody believes that drug is dangerous or that that claim isn't a bald-faced lie. But these people don't care at all what others think of them or their ethics. They don't mind being liars for their religion or being known as that. And I haven't heard any objections to these tactics from the church, which condones if not endorses it. The church is as much of an enemy of the Constitution and America as the anti-democratic, anti-rule-of-law right, Putin, and the Taliban. They all promote destruction of Americanism, and the battle is to preserve it from enemies domestic and foreign. It's time to recognize that and adapt accordingly.
It's not criminalizing the use of the drug, it is revoking the FDA approval of the drug, which means it won't be available for distribution if the anti-choice gang has its way. It won't affect the drug that is already out there. Hence, the stockpiling.
As far as the Church is concerned I totally support the separation of church and state.
The greatest fear in this, I think, is an ill-informed, religiously supported attack on a recognized federal authority that is based on scientific knowledge. I fear this is only the beginning, that many decisions made by the FDA may be called into question; among them all vaccines.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Republican congress attempts to disband the agency all together. They are already thinking of ending the dept of education of the federal level.
Informative.
And when the stockpiles are exhausted, how will women get this drug without leaving America or breaking American law? And what will be the consequences for those that distribute the drug if it is officially considered unsafe?
Agreed. Organized, politicized Christianity and it's irrational, theocratic ways is a threat to American women, to the scientific process of approving drugs, and to church-state separation. And that is a very realistic fear given the poor thinking of much of the American electorate, who I fully expect to give the government back to the Republicans based in the hope against hope, reason, and evidence that the Republicans care about them, have answers, and will make their lives better.
Agreed. These people will swarm like termites into all phases of secular life if they can, and the only defense against that is an informed electorate. Color me pessimistic.
That's a good example of them swarming across the government if allowed to. We know who these people are, what their agenda is, and what their despicable ethics and methods are - nonstop lying and contracting freedoms.
Can I just say at this point that I've lost hope and respect for humanity. I expect Americans to turn over their country to its enemies and their oppressors, for global warming to progress unabated until it is impossible to continue warming the planet because of technological collapse, and the same with AI. I expect the worse for humanity, which is a radically different view I had as a boy, where we thought in terms of perpetual progress, like in the Jetsons or Star Trek, but I'm afraid that the dystopic movies like Road Warrior and 1984 (and maybe the Handmaid's Tale) will prove more prophetic.
It's so bad that at the fertility clinic I went to, there is a map on the wall detailing the new laws, and a lovely letter warning pregnant WA residents to be careful when traveling to another state as necessary medical care may not be readily available if complications arise during their pregnancy.
What a sad world we live in.
I'd post the photos of it, but I still can't post any of my camera pictures.

I think that the stock piling was just a stop gap effort. They knew that something else had to be done, but it could take time and having the pills on hand for a while could mean that citizens of their states might escape the actions of that judge in Texas. They had to know that either the pills would run out for them or that their shelf life would pas eventually. It was never meant to be a permanent solution.

And I believe all of the Republican appointed justices are involved in the Federalist Society that pretty much promotes Christian Nationalism.

As far as voting is concerned, we reap what we sow. Now is no time for voter apathy.
