country is really steamrolling its way back towards 19th century. Crazy to see.

Abortion access in the U.S. was dealt a major blow Friday as a far-right federal judge in Texas halted the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of mifepristone, potentially laying the groundwork to bar access nationwide to an abortion pill that’s used by hundreds of thousands annually.
But the situation only sank further into uncertainty after another federal judge, just minutes later, issued an opposing order that instructed the FDA to continue to allow the drug to be dispensed.
Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, an appointee of former President Donald Trump who’s become notorious for spewing ultra-conservative views far outside mainstream opinion, first ruled to suspend the drug’s approval after anti-abortion groups had petitioned him to do so.
