The Trump administration is intentionally slow-rolling efforts to restrict abortion pill access until after the midterms. Once they’re over, “the gloves will be off,” according to one anti-abortion advocate who spoke with The Washington Sun.
US Attorney General Todd Blanche said during his July confirmation hearing that rules allowing abortion pills to be shipped nationwide were “wrong” and that he’d seek to review them. He’s also reportedly assured faith leaders he would work to ban abortion “in every single state.”
But according to a Friday report from the Sun, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has intervened to limit the potential political fallout of new sweeping restrictions on a method that accounts for nearly two-thirds of all abortions in the US.
This was always coming.
First mifepristone/misoprostol will be removed from pharmacies.
Then Plan-B mysteriously disappears from shelves - the excuse will be that it shouldn’t be OTC, it requires a prescription. And those will become super ultra mega restricted. Anyone prescribing it will be scrutinized.
Then hormonal birth control pills will be declared too dangerous - they’ll say that stroke and cardiac risks need to be “reassessed.”
That’s their plan.
Vote, vote, vote!!
They’re going to do it after the midterms regardless. Punish them NOW:
But administration officials have also informed anti-abortion leaders, who have aggressively pressed the administration to move quickly to restrict abortion access, that any action on abortion would take place after the midterm elections, multiple sources told The Sun.
“Once the midterms are over and it’s truly lame-duck time, we’ve heard the gloves will be off,” one conservative in touch with the administration, granted anonymity to discuss private conversations, said. “We have heard we have friends, and there are definitely people who are staunch pro-lifers.”
Post midterms is now “lame-duck time” wow.
edit: oh wait, yeah it is lame duck time for the outgoing reps and senators, doy.
I would say they could never get elected if they’re honest about their intentions. But for 30% of voters apparently they can outright say half the evil shit and be loved for it.
these are also uninformed people who spend little time watching the news or paying attention to anything outside of their circle
