Missouri’s attorney general has renewed a push to restrict access to the abortion pill mifepristone, arguing in a lawsuit filed this month that its availability hurt the state by decreasing teenage pregnancy.

The revised lawsuit was filed by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, alongside GOP attorneys general in Kansas and Idaho. It asks a judge in Texas to order the Federal Drug Administration to reinstate restrictions on mifepristone, one of two medications prescribed to induce chemical abortions.

The trio of attorneys general were forced to refile the litigation after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the original lawsuit after concluding the original plaintiffs — a group of anti-abortion doctors and medical organizations — did not have standing to sue because they couldn’t show they had been harmed.

I.......what?

I don't even understand what's being argued. Usually I can argue against a stance, because I see their logic and disagree with it.

In this case, I don't even get the logic.

Simple: they're now mask off about wanting women to become de facto brood mares and house slaves before they turn 20.

Is that the legit reason? I mean, in the times I grew up in, I would assume you're being dramatic to prove a point.

But it's 2024......the absurd is reality. What you said has just as real of a chance at being true as anything else with these people.

Trump is over here talking about using the American military against American citizens for being against him. Meanwhile republican voters are in pure denial that he would ever do that, despite him saying so. Word for word. AND he has attempted to do exactly that in the past.

So I don't have the luxery of being able to use common sense to dismiss things as being not credible to be reality. We live in the dumbest timeline. You could make up any dumb shit, and I have no way of dismissing it as being too dumb to be real.

"Hey, Trump just shot Kamala Harris with a gun on stage at a debate"

And the ONLY thing that makes that stand out as obviously false is the fact that trump is too scared to debate now.

This is the time we live in.

Have you considered that you always misunderstood people's goals and they were actually trying to warn you of this exact coming situation?

This isn't some stupid timeline, it's the result of 50 years of very specific effort by the right that the people you thought were being dramatic were just plainly warning you about with the appropriate level of urgency.

I really don't understand how in the face of all this people still choose to bury their heads in the sand.
