One of the few times I've found myself rooting for the pharma industry.
It seems weird to say, but where is their lobbying? This has to be a threat to their profits
Seriously, where is Trojan and Durex in this shit? It isn't just going to be pharma birth control mixed up in this once the conception dominoes start falling.
Maybe they think the leopard won't eat their face... or maybe they're scared of being called woke and taking a slight stock hit for three months as right wingers stage a flaccid boycott.
This is particularly concerning as a trans person as this could limit access to HRT. I'm a homeowner with a great career, but the moment I can't get access to HRT I'm jumping ship. I need to get my passport squared away ASAP.
We are so fucked
Now might be a good time to invest in . . .
The Black Market.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The pharmaceutical industry has raised the alarm, telling both the justices in court filings and anyone else who will listen that giving individual federal judges the power to cast aside the agency’s scientific health and safety findings would cause chaos within the sector.
For business leaders, there’s also a concern a ruling against the government could stifle innovation by deterring investors in an industry that relies on billions of dollars in upfront research and development in order to bring drugs to market.
“My biggest concern is the precedent it sets ... could have a chilling effect on investors coming into our business and investing in our innovative companies,” said Paul Hastings, an industry veteran who is the CEO of Nkarta Therapeutics and signed on to the same brief as Banks.
When the agency in 2016 began the process of lifting restrictions on the drug, its actions were “supported by an exhausting review of a record including dozens of scientific studies and decades of safe use of mifepristone by millions of women,” the brief said.
The challengers, doctors and other medical professionals who oppose abortion argue that FDA failed to sufficiently take into account safety concerns when the restrictions on mifepristone were lifted.
The plaintiffs sued in a federal court in Texas where the case was guaranteed to be assigned to Matthew Kacsmaryk, a conservative judge appointed by President Donald Trump.
