No. A right-wing judge in Texas does not know more than the women who have safely used this medication for decades or the medical experts at the FDA. This extreme decision should not be allowed to go into effect. Women control their bodies, not politicians and not judges.
If you think parents who allow drag queens to read books to their kids is a serious problem that’s somehow dangerous to society, then how about a high school drop-out with an arrest record, married to a man who exposed himself in a bowling alley, giving their kids assault weapons and then taking a photo of it to “own the libs”?
Just curious…
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced plans to block state colleges from having programs on diversity, equity and inclusion, and critical race theory. https://t.co/j42K0usulJ

Separate funds were created earlier to provide medical & financial compensation to 9/11 victims & family members. Meanwhile, the Former Iran HOSTAGES are still waiting for most of the compensation they were promised in 2015 b/c HUGE settlements were diverted to 9/11 families.
There’s no reason to leave any victims behind,” Arnold said. “With Sen. Menendez’s support, this bill could easily pass before year’s end.” IRONIC - USVSST was created B/C of the Iran 52, now they ARE the victims being left behind -SHAME @SenSchumer@SenatorMenendez@TomCottonAR
2. The U.S. Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund was created in 2015 chiefly to compensate the former U.S. hostages held in the 1979 Iran revolution, along with other victims of terrorist acts like the U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania and attack on the USS Cole.
We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to these acts. We must honor our citizens who serve us abroad and compensate those who, in the service of country, are deprived of life, liberty and freedom. #Americans#AmericaFirst#hostages#TORTURED#USA#overdue#makeitright
