US Supreme Court Considers Ruling That Would Place Restrictions on Mifepristone | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The US Supreme Court is facing the most significant abortion-related dispute since Roe v Wade was overturned last summer. The justices are considering a lower court ruling that would place restrictions on access to an FDA approved abortion drug. Diana Gomez, a resident of Connecticut, says "I think the pill has been vetted, the FDA has done its appropriate research and I think it should be left to the FDA who are experts in the area, that's who should decide whether it's safe or not." Meanwhile, across the street, lawmakers are also weighing in. Representative Katherine Clark says, "This case just marks the latest assault in the MAGA crusade against reproductive freedom. Republicans have one goal, a nationwide abortion ban." Pro-life Caucus Co-Chair Congressman Chris Smith says, "They aspire all the time domestically and internationally to abortion on demand right up until birth and even after birth to ensure that if a child survives, he or she will be killed." Congressman Smith says he believes the justices will side with the pro-life community because the FDA approved mifepristone hastily and have spent decades now removing what few safeguards were left.
