Always Faithful
Funny that nobody mentioned that abortion was restored to the individual state as the Constitution says. Somehow the past Court, when Roe v. Wade was decided, SCOTUS of 1973 failed to take into consideration that it is the individual state that decides what citizens of their states can and cannot do according to that State's legislature. Back when the ruling was made, and now states control the mundane issues of killing little unborn babies. Women are so empowered now, that they can live in any state they want, and they can leave and dismiss their God-given family if they wish with nobody telling them what to do. Justice may be blind, but I think Lady Justice sheds tears underneath that blindfold. Freedom has a price, a broken heart, isolation of parents and seniors, and dissociated youths who do not acknowledge that their condition is not the fault of others, but their own, by throwing the ten commandments under the bus.WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court said Friday evening that the abortion pill mifepristone would remain widely available for now, delaying the potential for an abrupt end to a drug that is used in more than half of abortions in the United States.
The order halted two rulings that had sought to curb the availability of the mifepristone as an appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit moves forward: one from a federal judge in Texas who suspended the drug from the market entirely and another from the appeals court that had imposed significant barriers on the pill, including blocking access by mail.
The one-paragraph order, which was unsigned, is the second time in a year that the Supreme Court has considered a major effort to sharply curtail access to abortion. In overturning Roe v. Wade in June, a conservative majority said that it was leaving the issue of abortion to elected officials.
- Two justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr., dissented publicly. Justice Thomas gave no reasons. Justice Alito wrote that he was aware that the court had been criticized for issuing orders through the emergency applications docket, what critics call the “shadow docket.”
- Reaction from abortion-rights groups was swift. “The Supreme Court’s decision is a huge relief, but we’re not out of the woods yet,” said Nancy Northup, head of the Center for Reproductive Rights, adding that the Texas ruling blocking access to mifepristone had “sowed chaos, confusion and panic.”
- The order was in one sense no surprise, as members of the Supreme Court’s conservative majority have generally supported the F.D.A.’s authority to make decisions about drug safety.

Alito and Thomas dissent. Alito talks out of both sides of his face, and the fact Thomas took the time away from his vacation bribes from his right wing billionaire handler, was curious.
