Anti-abortion forces plan for a Trump return

Nearly 100 anti-abortion and conservative groups are eyeing ways the former president, if elected, can use the federal government to restrict abortion access.

www.politico.com

The groups’ wishlist includes:

— Reviving Trump policies, including restrictions on abortion pills and domestic and international clinics offering contraception

— Undoing the expansion of HIPAA privacy rules to cover abortions

— Using the FTC to prosecute virtual clinics that prescribe abortion pills to people in states where they’re banned

— Rolling back policies allowing abortion pills to be available by mail and at retail pharmacies

— Using the EPA to classify the chemicals in abortion pill mifepristone as “forever chemicals” subject to stricter regulations
========================================================
Whackos. 'Forever chemicals' are polyfluorinated alkyl compounds used in things like fire-fighting foams at airports. They are called 'forever chemicals' because the human body has no way to metabolize carbon-fluorine bonds so they accumulate in the body. Mifepristone is a steroid containing no fluorine atoms. It gets metabolized like any other steroid.

I heard tonight that if the EPA made this absurd classification change, clinics & hospitals would have to make special arrangements to dispose of aborted fetuses because they would then be considered 'hazardous materials.'

Along with passing Federal legislation outlawing abortions, to bring those uppity blue states into line.

Yep. There was a reason I avoided that period when I studied history at university. The Dark Ages scared the pants off me.

No, hey, it was glorious! The anarchy between Rome and the feudal era. Mankind's last kick at the savagery cat!

Trump can't wait to take us out of NATO & cut off aid to Ukraine as a gift to his bff Putin.
