About this sermon
Reaction from Capitol Hill to the dueling abortion rulings broke as expected along party lines. Republicans hailed the decision withdrawing the FDA's approval of the abortion drug, mifepristone. Democrats are furious that the drug won't be dispensed in a number of states, at least until Friday. Both Republicans and Democrats engaged in a war of words after the rulings came down. Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she supports calls to ignore the ruling until the judicial process plays out. She says, "This ruling is an extreme abuse of power. It is an extraordinary example of judicial overreach. The grounds of the ruling are just completely discredited and without grounds." Congressional Pro-Life Caucus Co-Chair, Congressman Chris Smith, hailed the ruling and said in a statement, "The FDA has blatantly ignored warnings of life-threatening complications associated with mifepristone and misoprostol —the drug regimen used in chemical abortions." HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra claims it presents a danger for all FDA approved drugs. House Republicans say they are prepared to stop funding some FDA programs. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America calls the injunction a win for women and girls.
