The Anti-Abortion Movement Just Made a Powerful New Enemy

A religious group that believes all disease is God's handiwork and people sin when they try to undo it can grind all medicine to a halt. Everything has a side effect that harms someone, even penicillin which encourages sex since it allowed syphilis to be cured.

I love Big Pharma now!

Excerpt:

U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s lawless and unprecedented decision ordering the Food and Drug Administration to revoke approval of mifepristone, the first drug in a medication abortion, poses an existential threat to the entire industry: If upheld, the order would allow any doctor to file a lawsuit compelling the FDA to revoke approval of any drug they dislike. If any such suit succeeds, a single, handpicked judge could overrule the FDA’s scientific determinations and issue a nationwide block on that medication. The drug need not have anything to do with reproductive health: vaccines, antibiotics, antidepressants, hormones, statins, painkillers—all are vulnerable under Kacsmaryk’s decision.

It's actually an interesting read.

Here’s the decision being referenced:
