Nearly 300 biotechnology and pharmaceutical company executives on Monday slammed a ruling from a federal judge in Texas that invalidated the Food and Drug Administrations (FDA) decades-old approval of the abortion medication mifepristone.

Now you get to take the ride.
Maybe you needed to listen to the liberals about how your actions would have dire consequences for everyone--including you, you greedy sodding traitors.
