Drug companies slam Texas judge's ruling on abortion pill

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

The executives in an open letter called for the decision to be reversed and argued that the judicial interference will undermine FDA’s authority.

“The decision ignores decades of scientific evidence and legal precedent. Judge Kacsmaryk’s act of judicial interference has set a precedent for diminishing FDA’s authority over drug approvals, and in so doing, creates uncertainty for the entire biopharma industry,” wrote the executives, including Albert Bourla, chief executive of Pfizer.

Mifepristone was first approved by the FDA in 2000 and has been proven safe and effective. It’s one of two medications used to induce a medical abortion in the U.S.

The same goes for all of his anti-abortion pals. Soon they will want to have gender tests for unborn fetuses to see if it will be born a female and abort it at that point. They would love this idea...kill two birds with one stone. No wait, they WANT to see women suffer (true sadists in every way) so they would let it be born so they can suppress her for her entire life...that IS their goal, isn't it?

Big Pharma will not roll over and go back to sleep.

Expect new directions of campaign contributions.

You bought the ticket for this nonsense, Big Pharma.

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.
