It's so cool that a district judge can stay a 20 year old FDA approval because it makes him sad. We should have a random judge in California order the Treasury to pay all medical bills.
Here's the opinion laying out the reason for the stay.
If the laws about FDA procedure, leading to the stay, need to be fixed, then let's get on it.
@volkris @CGHildebrandt One of the reasons sited in the ruling was the FDA diddly dallied in responding to plaintiffs for years, and I can just imagine the FDA specialist rolling their eyes at the sheer silliness of the complaint and shoving it down the priority list of things they have to do.🤦♂️
@kcarr2015 @volkris @CGHildebrandt I doubt it, I think it's more likely to be because women are systemically infantilized. Giving this med. to birth professionals to hand out (w/ availability say of Viagra), it'd be a good thing for women's health overall. Pple would be able to keep it on hand as it's normal to need it exactly at the moment that we find out that we need it (at 5 & a half to 6 weeks), if it takes 2 weeks to get your hands on it the risks go up considerably or you can't take it.
Well, it's Occam's Razor.
The simpler explanation is just that the court is following through on its simple legal mandate of pointing it out when agencies in power are in violation of the law.
And again, if the laws are bad laws, then this is how WE call for the laws to be revised. I think that's so important.
If 21 U.S.C. § 355 needs to be changed to allow the FDA's actions, let's get to it!
