Ask the FDA. What authority does it have to regulate most things.
Edit: so, they don't have authority to regulate women's abortion choices, but do have the authority to regulate every other part of your medical decision?
Fuck that. You want an abortion? Get one. A joint? Go nuts. Experimental cancer meds? I wish you well.
Your medical choices should be between you and your doctor, not you, your doctor and a legislature.
The FDA is not in the constitution.
It explicitly has authority from the government to regulate things.
A panel of judges assigned in duty by the constitution is not given its authority from the same body as the FDA.
If you do not understand why youre comparing apples and lemons, you should leave the conversations to the adults.
The Executive Branch is empowered to carry out the law as interpreted by the Judicial Branch and mandated by the Legislative Branch.
The FDA is assigned by the executive, empowered by congress, and subject to legal oversight of the courts.
There are many laws that give the FDA authority, for instance the Food Safety Act of 1906.
There is nothing that gives the supreme court the power to review medication approved by medical professionals.
The Supreme Court was never going to a review the medication, it was going to review the approval process, Make sure it complied with procedural and substitutive due process as required by the Constitution.
Thanks? We're talking about the commerce clause, not third grade civics.
Well that fucking stupid. Osha bad because regulation bad.
Wtf kinda shit do you eat in the morning? Is it lead?
I mean the goal of OSHA is decent, whatever my views are on implementation.
That is literally their entire purpose
I understand that. I was criticizing their view knowing they'd apply it to abortion, but nothing else.
Lemmings want the fed all up in their shit, except when they don't.
The FDA exercised its authority to regulati mifepristone already.
It absolutely did, and I trust the FDA much more than I trust a bunch of prejudicial bigots in black robes. I'm just funny that way.
Fuck the FDA.
I would if I could, son. I would if I could.
Guys. This commenter sounds Libertarian-esque to me. In this case, individual bodily autonomy, Libertarians are on our side.
Some the other ideas however . . .
I'm a super liberal libertarian. Anticorp, IP is theft. We should use regs to dismantle corps, not build them.
Yeah. And when it comes to this one issue, Libertarians and Liberals are pretty much on the same page. Maybe different reasons, but the same page.
The government can fuck off and has no say in my medical . . . well anything.
Fuck yes we are. Christians showed up at our last libertarian convention to tell others to support freedom. Libertarian kids took up armed security for the protests. We won in Kansas.
I agree with most of your comment, but regulation to ensure safety also has its place. That said, I mostly agree it should still be available, with a warning about safety.
I'm not really commenting on that, to be honest. I'm not a huge fan of many regulations, but I only get worked up about the ones that fuck us.
Roe v Wade had a standard that was applied nowhere else and it's frustrating nobody thought to back it up with law.
To be fair, abortion should be covered by the 9th amendment. There shouldn't be a need for extra laws to cover it.
A lot of things fall in that category tho.
No, I'm calling you out for choosing to care about human rights when it suits you.
Well, the medical rights you imagine support abortion should also support a lot of other medical rights. I chose the FDA because they do things like tell cancer patients they can't try experimental medications.
These were terminal cancer patients and oncologist recommended, but it looks like we've made some effort to fix it. They have a "Right to Try" act program now, so that's neat.
I think quacks should be able to be sued into oblivion by their ~~patients~~ victims.
