Someone possessing the pills without a valid prescription or outside of professional practice could be prosecuted and sentenced to prison.

      They can’t really do that if there’s a Democrat in the White House and the courts are semi rational. You really can’t stop a certified drug from being distributed through the post office nationally. But, you change either of those conditions and the lunatics will run the asylum. They’ll bring back sodomy laws too.

          Especially the 5th circuit. That’s where Matthew Kacsmaryk punts the dumbest cases to Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas, who then shit all over the law.

            Yeah the GOP has the ability to defacto veto any legislation in the country. Kacsmaryk will issue a nationwide injunction on any policy they ask him to. It’s fucking nuts.

            And then the courts try to rein in this obvious forum shopping and the Northern District in TX just says “naw, we aren’t going to listen to that”. How the fuck does that shit fly?!

    I hate that the lazy press call it an “abortion pill”. They are only taking the rhetoric of the lunatics. These drugs only delay ovulation, they don’t abort anything.

      There are two different things:

      • the morning-after pill, which delays ovulation.
      • Medications which induce miscarriage, which are used, to say, treat an ectopic pregnancy or otherwise terminate a pregnancy which has already started.

      This is a ban on the latter.

        They don’t induce miscarriage. It prevents implantation of a fertilized egg within the first 48 hours after sex. I is technically not an abortion since it hasn’t implanted and isn’t growing. The Pro-life extremist shouldn’t be upset over it since that is better than a surgical abortion and safer in many respects and they are NOT killing a growing child since it can’t form is it doesn’t implant in the uterus.

          You’re confusing two different things. The morning-after pill works the way you describe. The combination of mifepristone and misoprostol does not — it can be used until 70 days after the last period.

    Now the plug can carry abortion pills instead of just fent and meth.

    Did we not learn anything from prohibition?
