Looks like #SCOTUS is following the lead of the Texas Supreme Court in wanting to play doctor. Mifepristone - the #abortion medicine being contested - is much safer than most medications I prescribe on a daily basis. The safety argument is complete disingenuous bullshit. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/17/what-abortion-pill-supreme-court-case-access-mifepristone?ref=upstract.com
@Hunter no, that's wrong on all counts.
Firstly, The Texas Supreme Court said over and over in their ruling that they were **refusing** to play doctor, which was the entire point of their ruling, that the decision was in the hands of doctors, not the courts.
SCOTUS is considering a question of law, not medicine, to determine whether the executive branch broke the law, which has nothing to do with playing doctor.
Neither has anything to do with safety. Both have to do with courts *staying out of* playing doctor or other roles that they lack expertise in.
