Democratic and leftist groups are gaming out how to resist and prepare for former President Trump’s possible return to the White House, including blue state governors stockpiling abortion pills.
The Supreme Court ruled against a challenge to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) regulatory approval process of the abortion drug Mifepristone, but some Democratic Party leaders are reportedly preparing for a hypothetical scenario where the Trump administration rescinds the approval or uses the 1873 Comstock Act to criminalize mailing Mifepristone across state lines.
"The Democratic governor of Washington State, Jay Inslee, said he had secured a large enough supply of Mifepristone pills to preserve access for women in his state through a second Trump administration. The supply is locked away at a state warehouse," The New York Times reported in a piece headlined "The Resistance to a New Trump Administration Has Already Started."
