Louisiana Sued Over Law Classifying Abortion Pills As “controlled Substances”

Earlier this month, Louisiana became the first state in the country to classify the two most common drugs used in medication abortions, mifepristone and misoprostol, as Schedule IV controlled substances, creating stiff penalties for their unauthorized use. Medical providers sounded alarms when the GOP-controlled legislature passed the law: Abortion is already banned in the state in nearly all cases, and the new classification would delay lifesaving care for people experiencing miscarriages and health conditions unrelated to pregnancy.

The Archdiocese of Denver and a nonprofit representing the state’s Catholic bishops have contributed $225,000 to a Colorado anti-abortion group in its fight against Amendment 79, which would enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution. The Pro-Life Colorado Fund, a coalition of more than 50 anti-abortion groups, received $175,000 on Oct.

On October 26th, Donald Trump promised that “WHEN I’M PRESIDENT THE MCDONALD’S ICE CREAM MACHINES WILL WORK GREAT AGAIN!” But it is Lina Khan, Chair of the Federal Trade Commission, who, earlier today, announced she had actually done something about it.  The day before Trump’s proclamation, the United States Copyright Office announced a new copyright exemption that will grant some small business owners and franchisees—such as those operating the 13,000 McDonald’s in the United States—the “right to repair” the machinery within their own shops.

While campaigning for GOP Sen. candidate Dave McCormick near Pittsburgh, Nikki Haley told voters to forget about how “noisy” Donald Trump is and cast ballots for the disgraced former President. She told voters to “pull the emotion out” and “focus on the policies,” adding that “it’s not about us” but about future generations.

Here we go again with Fox selectively editing what Joe Biden said about the speaker at Trump's hate-fest Madison Square Garden rally. This time we've also got Sean Hannity putting Tokyo Rose to shame with this cult-like gushing over Dear Leader's stunt where he came close to busting his ass before being driven around in circles in a garbage truck with his name on it on a tarmac. Here's the beginning of the segment from Hannity's show this Wednesday, where he takes Biden out of context and doesn't show the rest of what he said, and uses it to repeat Trump's lie that he was attacking "half the country." HANNITY: The party of unity, the party of joy and happiness and love and peace is added again.

Sen. Ted Cruz reacted to a question about abortion the same way he reacted to a Texas storm that left millions freezing in the dark and more than a hundred literally freezing to death: by running away. Instead of jetting off to Cancun when he didn't want to do his job, Cruz dodged questions from CNN’s Ed Lavendera with BS. Asked why there was no mention of abortion in his speech, Cruz sneered, “I understand that's what Democrats want to talk all day long about.” Sadly, it’s no surprise Cruz doesn’t care about what concerns his Democratic constituents.
