Missouri’s attorney general has renewed a push to restrict access to the abortion pill mifepristone, arguing in a lawsuit filed this month that its availability hurt the state by decreasing teenage pregnancy.
The revised lawsuit was filed by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, alongside GOP attorneys general in Kansas and Idaho. It asks a judge in Texas to order the Federal Drug Administration to reinstate restrictions on mifepristone, one of two medications prescribed to induce chemical abortions.
The trio of attorneys general were forced to refile the litigation after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the original lawsuit after concluding the original plaintiffs — a group of anti-abortion doctors and medical organizations — did not have standing to sue because they couldn’t show they had been harmed.
In other words, the GOP needs more poor uneducated masses in order to have meat for the grinder and votes to stay in power.
For fuck’s sake, are there any quiet parts left?
Probably the part where he explains because his wife was a teen when they married and she wanted an abortion.
It’s like he read Animal Farm and thought it’s an instruction manual.
The part where Boxer is taken by the glue cart is not a positive
Missouri = immigrants are taking our homes. We need less people!
Also Missouri = teen pregnancy isn’t a raging problem any more. We need more people!

Hey, you know what else decreases your population leading to fewer federal funds and potential loss of political power in the House?
Executions. But hey, Andrew Bailey didn’t care about that a couple of weeks ago.
And you know what else also decreases your population leading to fewer federal funds and potential loss of political power in the House?
Emigration. Is Andrew Bailey going to prosecute people trying to leave Missouri?

*Bailey enters the chat*
“Hey! That’s a great idea!”
Also continuously refusing federal funds leads to having fewer federal funds.
“In this state, we’ve turned suffering into a state industry. How dare you limit that!”
“If we can’t have Magdalene laundries, what kind of country even are we?!”
Missouri the same state that’s trying to fuck adults with student loans? No way
Really hope this argument reaches SCotUS.
It’s always good when you finally hear what their real beliefs are, not just the bs they lie and pretend are their beliefs.
