MAGA judge does exactly what one expects a Conservative appointee to do: he over steps his authority to try and retroactively revoke approval of a popular anti-pregnancy medication on religious grounds!

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A federal judge in Texas on Friday ordered a hold on U.S. approval of the abortion medication mifepristone, throwing into question access to the nation’s most common method of abortion in a ruling that waved aside decades of scientific approval.
The immediate impact of the ruling by U.S. District Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk, which does not go into immediate effect, was unclear.
The abortion drug has been widely used in the U.S. since 2000 and there is essentially no precedent for a lone judge overruling the medical decisions of the Food and Drug Administration. Mifepristone is one of two drugs used for medication abortion in the United States, along with misoprostol, which is also used to treat other medical conditions.
Kacsmaryk, a Trump administration appointee in Amarillo, Texas, signed an injunction directing the FDA to stay mifepristone’s approval while a lawsuit challenging the safety and approval of the drug continues. His 67-page order gave the government seven days to appeal.
Flatly wrong as always.

The vast majority of judges are not medical doctors. None of them should ever make rulings on medical cases? Most of them aren’t pilot either, so should they completely stay out of anything aviation related? It is a case within his court. He is within his jurisdiction and right to make his ruling.
You obviously didn’t read your own article nor do you understand how the courts work.

Your lack of understanding is epic. Did you bother reading the judge's opinion or are you just assuming it's acceptable because you're pro-life and thus just agree that anything that removes an embryo is just?
The statute of limits has ran, the judge opines that the six year statute of limitations is inconsequential.
The FDA deemed the drug regime in safe. The judge here opines that pro-life advocates here have standing to request the judge overturn that decision because some doctors they represent may be harmed because their theoretical patients might not take their medication properly. So we've got a two-layer hypothetical masquerading as direct harm jurisdiction.
Lastly our pro-life judge has determined that because /some/ states have passed anti abortion legislation, that it has standing to overturn the rights of other state's without such legislation. This is a clear violation of true Supremecy Clause of the Constitution which favors their federal decision to make mifepristone available cannot be superceded by individual states trying to restrict usage for all.
Suddenly Democrats care about the statute of limitations. Gotta love it.
