Sen. Ron Wyden from Oregon called on President Biden to FDA and President Biden’s administration to ignore the Supreme Court and continue the practice of allowing mifepristone to be shipped to patients seeking an abortion.
Mifepristone is the first pill used in a two-step medication that will result in an abortion, and has been allowed to be shipped to those who request it since an FDA decision in 2021.
Sen. Ron Wyden wrote on Twitter, saying:
“In the coming days a lawless Trump-appointed judge is expected to ban access to abortion medication nationwide,”
“I’m calling on the FDA to protect the safety of every woman in America by keeping the drug on the market no matter the ruling.”

Beginning 2021, the FDA allowed mifepristone to be shipped through the mail by medical officials.
However, ADF would go on to state that this practice is “in direct violation of federal law.” The FDA had since stepped in, mandating that the shipping of mifepristone will become a permanent practice, allowing people to receive the abortion drug through telemedicine and online pharmaceuticals. This is done in an effort to crack down on states that choose to limit abortions and have banned mifepristone in certain cases – in essence ending individual states rights to legislate abortion law following Roe v. Wade being overturned.
The ADF complaint alleges:
All of the FDA’s actions on chemical abortion drugs—the 2000 approval, the 2016 major changes, the 2019 generic drug approval, and the two 2021 actions to eliminate the in-person dispensing requirement—failed to acknowledge and address the federal laws that prohibit the distribution of chemical abortion drugs by postal mail, express company, or common carrier. Instead, the FDA’s actions permitted and sometimes even encouraged these illegal activities.
DemoRat say ignore The SCOTUS. Surprise.
So it is wrong for citizens to comply with laws, but the government agencies are allowed to ignore them? And people wonder why this country is going to the garbage bins.
Sorry, I meant to say: So it is wrong for citizens to break the law, but it is okay for government agencies to brake the laws?
But you are 100% correct in saying this administration is flushing the country down the sewer.
Typical brain dead Oregen anti-American politician.
Just another elected offical that wants to KILL baby’s in and out of the womb. I wouder what he; they, would do if someone harm one of them. Idiots!
Since when did the Democrats begin following the rule of law?
No one is above the law. Joe Biden
