US supreme court agrees to consider abortion pill access<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t just bring random lawsuits in court. You actually have to have been harmed by something,\u201d said Greer Donley, an associate law professor at the University of Pittsburgh Law School. \u201cThat\u2019s really what standing analysis is all about, to try to figure out if if the people who bring the lawsuit actually have a stake in the case.\u201d Numerous legal experts have questioned whether the challengers in this case have properly demonstrated that they have been harmed by mifepristone\u2019s continued legality.<\/p>\n

The high court might be more than happy to home in on the procedural issues and sidestep another (highly electorally motivating) abortion bombshell. Pharmaceutical companies, advocates and experts have also warned that upending the FDA\u2019s approval of mifepristone could open the floodgates to an enormous tranche of drugs and medical devices being challenged too.<\/p>\n Read more at Talking Points Memo<\/a><\/p>\n The Supreme Court will hear its biggest abortion case since it overruled Roe v. Wade<\/p>\n But this system has broken down, and it is particularly broken in Texas\u2019s federal courts. Those courts frequently allow plaintiffs to choose which trial judge will hear their case<\/a> by filing the lawsuit in a geographic region that has only one federal judge. One hundred percent of all cases filed in Amarillo, Texas, are assigned to Kacsmaryk, for example; a fact that has led legions of religious conservatives to file their cases in Amarillo. Then, once Kacsmaryk gets his hands on these cases, he generally responds with dubiously reasoned opinions attacking abortion, birth control, and LGBTQ people<\/a>.<\/p>\n Read more at Vox<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" US supreme court agrees to consider abortion pill access \u201cYou can\u2019t just bring random lawsuits in court.
