Could a federal judge really declare that an abortion drug used safely by millions of American women over more than two decades did not receive proper vetting and force it off the market?
Normally, this would be an absurd scenario. When it comes to reproductive health, however, we have entered the realm of the absurd.
Last year, after all, the U.S. Supreme Court revoked a half-century-old federal right to abortion when it overturned Roe v. Wade, tossing the issue back to the states. About half of them have banned, or are expected to ban, the procedure. But tossing Roe did not satisfy the Christian right, which is on a mission to thwart women's agency.
