The FDA has retained the Biden administration's lax mifepristone dispensing rules, while approving Evita's cheap generic. The result will be more abortions.
"Senator Josh Hawley said, in outrage, that he has 'lost confidence' in the FDA’s leadership over this move. I think his outrage might be a bit late the game."
I imagine that his wife - bless her heart - is a good bit more pissed off, as she argued (and lost) the mifepristone case before SCOTUS[1]. But "who could have known"?
I agree with you and wish pro life was still Trump’s priority. But let’s be fair: The Democrat party is so far gone on pro abortion that it prefers infanticide to pro life instead. Kennedy is a life long Democrat who is pro abortion but has initiated many other pro life health reforms of a different type. He is only in the Trump administration because the Democrats kicked him to the curb and he helped broaden the new Republican Party. I understand that Racket News must frame all issues in an anti Trump box and I don’t agree with everything Trump does. But with everything he has on his plate, I’ll take him over any Socialist aligned with the anti God, anti life, anti health, anti traditional family coalition.
Too many people in our society devalue human life by trying to draw the line somewhere that is less in the public eye instead of drawing the line in the only place it can morally be — the very beginning of life, at conception.
That has its own moral problems too. There have been many discussions on the topic of abortion here in the past, so I won't rehash all of the arguments: I'll simply note that viability - which is dependent on access to advanced medical technology - is the best cut-off point, with the usual exceptions.

As the SecWar says, personnel is policy. Applies to the FDA also.

“Best” is subjective. You aren't simply “noting” this; you are asserting your opinion.
One that changed someone's mind towards agreeing with me, yes.
Trump never was as pro-life as he claimed.
Can be applied to many in the GOP: it was solely a position to get pro-life voters to vote GOP, not something they actually wanted to be enacted.
Y'all got used
