Another thing: unlike in 1973, we now have abortion pills. And Attorney General Merrick Garland says that states can't ban FDA approved pharmaceuticals, which would basically make all of this irrelevant.

Some states have already banned them. Others are in the process of doing so. And if they can't ban them outright, they can pass laws stating that pharmacists don't have to fill them, or that they can't be filled by mail order, or put up any number of other roadblocks.

See the previous comments about the pills already being banned.

Again, please review the role of the AG...
