The majority of abortions in the #US are obtained through #medications, usually a combination of #mifepristone & a second drug, #misoprostol. Their availability has blunted the impact of #abortion bans that most #Republican-led states have started enforcing since a 2022 #SCOTUS ruling that overturned #RoeVWade & allowed for state bans.

FDA posted this about abortion on their website in 2009:
"Sepsis is a known risk related to any type of abortion."
"women who died in the United States died from sepsis" ... "after medical abortion with mifepristone and misoprostol"
No abortion is "safe".

Facebook released private messages to law enforcement after a woman took abortion drugs while 28 weeks pregnant.
When the abortion drugs arrived, there was thunder that made her jump out of her seat. (Perhaps God was trying to warn her.) But she did it any way and then she insisted on burning the dead baby. She said she was looking forward to wearing jeans again.

FDA quietly approved a generic abortion pill ahead of shutdown 👍
“The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday quietly approved a generic form of #mifepristone, one of the two medications used in most U.S. abortions.
That makes the drug, from the company Evita Solutions, the second generic version to hit the market. The first, from pharmaceutical company GenBioPro, was approved in 2019.
Mifepristone is typically used in combination with another pill, #misoprostol, to induce abortions. Medication abortions account for nearly two-thirds of #abortion in the U.S.”

Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit accusing a New York doctor of prescribing abortion drugs to a Texas resident in violation of state law. This lawsuit is the first attempt to test what happens when state abortion laws are at odds with each other.

Czym jest mife i miso?
❤️ Mifepriston
Blokuje działanie progesteronu, hormonu odpowiedzialnego za utrzymanie ciąży. Jest to jeden z dwóch leków do aborcji farmakologicznej (tabletkami). Ten, który pierwszego dnia połykamy i popijamy wodą.Mifepriston potrzebuje czasu żeby zacząć działać, dlatego w ciążach do 12 tyg. odczekujemy minimum 24h z wzięciem misoprostolu, w ciążach po 12 tyg. wydłużamy ten czas do 36h.
Większość osób po przyjęciu mifepristonu nie odczuwa żadnych jego skutków, co nie znaczy, że lek nie działa. Czasem może wystąpić lekkie plamienie albo niewielkie mdłości.
❤️ Misoprostol
Zmiękcza szyjkę i wywołuje skurcze macicy, które prowadzą do wydalenia zarodka lub płodu wraz z krwią i skrzepami. Jednocześnie działa przeciwkrwotocznie, bo obkurcza naczynia krwionośne.Misoprostol działa poronnie gdy wchłonie się przez śluzówkę, dlatego najpierw trzymamy go przez 30 minut w buzi (pod językiem/między dziąsłem a policzkiem), następnie połykykamy. Można go również zaaplikować dopochwowo.
ℹ️ Jeśli posiadasz zestaw aborcyjny - mifepriston i misoprostol, to najpierw połykasz mifepriston, w ciążach poniżej 12 tyg. czekasz 24h i używasz 4 tabletek misoprostolu. Po 12 tyg. czas między mife a miso wydłużasz do 36h, i używasz 12 tabletek misoprostolu, aplikując po 2 tabletki w dawkach co 3 godziny.
ℹ️ Są to bardzo bezpieczne leki, rekomendowane przez Światową Organizację Zdrowia do samodzielnego użycia w domu. Zamówienie ich np. z womenhelp.org na własny użytek jest legalne i nic Ci z te nie grozi.

"Importantly, there is no scientific reason to restrict #mifepristone and #misoprostol in this manner... these medications are nonaddictive & extremely safe — as safe or safer than commonly prescribed drugs such as penicillin and Viagra. And their benefits are lifesaving...
This #law is a warning call of what is to come...
All of these #antiabortion efforts, cloaked in the guise of patient safety, do nothing but put patients’ lives at risk."

"Two medications, #mifepristone and #misoprostol, are commonly known as the FDA-approved drug regimen for medication #abortion, but they are also lifesaving drugs used for #pregnancy complications. #Doctors rely on one or both of them to stop postpartum hemorrhage and to manage miscarriages, as well as to induce labor."

"This is always how the anti-abortion movement operates. It’s palatable, and been historically successful, for those activists and allied politicians to paint abortion as a singular, siloed-off procedure that exists only in Planned Parenthood clinics. It’s easy, then, to demonize the supposed distinct set of women (and differently identifying people) who use those services too."

"It is on the World Health Organization’s list of essential medications, a list containing those medications that are the most effective and safe to meet a health care system’s most important needs. After antiabortion activists targeted the drug, Louisiana governor Jeff Landry signed a law reclassifying it as a controlled dangerous substance. The reclassification means that the drug will no longer be easily available on obstetric hemorrhage carts."

"On October 1, in Louisiana, a law will go into effect that reclassified the drug misoprostol as a controlled dangerous substance. Misoprostol can be used for abortion. It is also used for routine reproductive care and during medical emergencies to treat postpartum hemorrhage."

"Misoprostol is prescribed in a number of medical scenarios — it’s an essential part of reproductive #healthcare that can be used during emergencies...
But because it is used for #abortion, #misoprostol has been targeted by conservatives in #Louisiana — an unprecedented move for a medication that routinely saves lives. A controlled dangerous substance has extra barriers for access, which can delay care."

Fucking murdering morons
These "pro-life" theofascist shitbags are murdering #women
They don't know, don't care
#Misoprostol might be used for #abortion
So they just yank it out of emergency rooms
Even though it's used in postpartum hemorrhaging and other emergencies
It's like forcing people to endure surgery in writhing pain without fentanyl, because someone might use fentanyl illicitly
Regardless of abortion being legal or not (and it should be legal)
Morons!

"Because a president has enormous power to influence federal agencies that oversee abortion policy, a potential Trump administration could unilaterally choose to do what the Supreme Court did not: impose strict restrictions on mifepristone, one of two drugs used in over 60 percent of abortions — or even move to take the drug off the market entirely."

"Because it was a standing decision, ... there was no discussion of the merits of the challenges raised by the doctors and associations. So, there was no Supreme Court ruling on Thursday that the FDA’s rules are proper — and no ruling about the status and interpretation of the 1873 anti-vice law known as the Comstock Act."

"A cynical person might think that the conservative Justices (who routinely ignore ‘standing’ doctrine when it suits them) did this to keep the entire issue of reproductive rights out of the election cycle (where vast majority reject what they are doing), so they can take a hatchet to them after November."

"They have made themselves—and therefore, by extension, Trumpism—seem 'reasonable' on the matter of abortion in an election year in which their patron Trump is on the ballot and they very much need the abortion issue not to harm him politically; they have bought themselves more time to get to see the back of Justice Sotomayor…."

#AbortionMedication has increased in importance because more than a dozen states severely limited or banned #abortions after the #SCOTUS ruling last June in #Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Org. That’s partly because the drugs can be sent by mail & taken at home.
If access to #mifepristone was restricted, #abortion providers & advocates say, pregnancies could still be terminated using only the second drug in the regimen, #misoprostol. But using that drug alone causes more cramping & bleeding… -

Analysis: Abortion pill access may be endangered by this 19th century law
The Wild West of the post-Roe v. Wade legal landscape is focused on a lone federal judge in Amarillo, Texas, who could use a 19th century law to limit access to abortion medication for every American woman.
The judge, 45-year-old #Matthew #Kacsmaryk, held a hearing Wednesday about whether he should impose a preliminary injunction that would require the US Food and Drug Administration to withdraw or suspend its approval of the drug, #mifepristone, while a larger case progresses.
Mifepristone is taken along with another drug, #misoprostol, as part of the two-step #medication #abortion process.
Misoprostol can be prescribed on its own, but it is considered less effective.
Kacsmaryk, who sounded open to the idea of restricting access to mifepristone, will have to agree with some or all of these general points raised if he decides to issue an injunction:
* That doctors who don’t perform abortions and live in Texas, where abortions are already banned, are harmed by abortions conducted elsewhere
* That a single federal judge in Amarillo should do what no federal judge has ever done and unilaterally rescind an FDA approval.
* That a drug, which studies suggest is on par with ibuprofen in terms of safety, is actually so harmful it should be reconsidered by the FDA.
CNN’s Tierney Sneed wrote a longer list of takeaways from the hearing, where anti-abortion rights doctors and activist groups teed up their lawsuit in Kacsmaryk’s courtroom to further limit access to abortion care in the US.
It’s important to note that no matter what Kacsmaryk does, it will be #appealed up through the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals and potentially to the Supreme Court.
But perhaps the most incredible question Kacsmaryk faces is whether an #1870s #chastity #law named for an anti-vice crusader, #Anthony #Comstock, should be resuscitated and applied to the medicine that now accounts for a majority of US abortions.
Comstock operated the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice and was a special agent of the US Postal Service. He was known for seizing contraband like contraceptives and condoms in the name of rooting out obscenity, according to the New York Historical Society.
Mary Ziegler, a law professor at the University of California, Davis who has written about the Comstock Act for CNN Opinion, described Comstock as being “obsessed by what he saw as the decaying morals of a country preoccupied with sex.”
Ziegler writes:
The law he inspired #barred not just the #mailing of “#obscene #books” but also #birth #control and #abortion #drugs and #devices.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the #Comstock #Act was used to prohibit the mailing of many literary classics, from Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales” to works by James Joyce and Walt Whitman

"Walgreens, one of the nation's largest pharmacy chains, announced that it will not dispense abortion pills in at least 10 states where abortion remains legal. The decision came in response to a letter from 20 state attorneys general who oppose #abortion rights, encouraging #Walgreens not to make the drugs available in their states."
And why is Walgreens supporting #RepublicanAttorneysGeneralAssociation (#RAGA) with donations?
