Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) echoed some of her liberal counterparts' calls for President Joe Biden to ignore a Texas ruling that suspends approval for a pill used for abortion.
“It’s not up to us to decide as legislators, or even, you know, as the court system whether this is the right drug to use or not,” Mace told CNN Monday. “I agree with ignoring it at this point … this thing should just be thrown out, quite frankly.” Republican @NancyMace says she believes the FDA should ignore the Texas judge’s ruling. “This is an FDA approved drug. Whether you agree with its usage or not, that's not your decision. That is the FDA’s decision.” pic.twitter.
Mifepristone stymies a pregnancy, while the second pill, misoprostol, empties the uterus. It has also been approved for over 23 years. Medical abortion comprises roughly half of the abortions nationally, according to the Guttmacher Institute, an abortion rights advocacy group. “This is an issue that Republicans have been largely on the wrong side of,” Mace added. “We have, over the last nine months, not shown compassion toward women, and this is one of those issues that I’ve tried to lead on as someone who’s pro-life, and just have some common sense.”
