  1. These early feminists saw that abortion is patronizing and paternalistic and that a woman’s willingness to submit to it doesn’t free her, it devalues her. They understood that legalized abortion is nothing more than a safety net for sexually predatory and sexually irresponsible men. Today, after over 30 years of legalized abortion, that view has been so thoroughly proven true that some abortion advocates no longer even bother to deny it. In fact, some say it should be celebrated.

  2. Big Pharma should just move all factories out of Texas and prohibit selling any pharmaceuticals to anywhere in Texas. Start immediately. Nothing to pharmacies hospitals, clinics or anything online. Nothing. Its a free markt. There is nothing the courts can do about it either. And most pharmaceutical ownership is outside the USA.

  3. Politics have destroyed everything

  4. Where do we donate, to help eliminate an entire culture of future hoodie gangsters? Geez…! Offer free abortions, or pay them…just include sterilization too.

  5. Well of course they're complaining…more dead babies= more money. Same reason companies are paying for employees to get abortions…they don't care about the issue it's just cheaper than paying maternity leave.

  6. If big pharma just said no more campaign donations / bribes to republicans , this right wing overreach would end immediately.

  7. Who cares what biden thinks killing a baby is wrong you can’t sugar colt it

  8. Missoprostol is the generic of the abortion pill.

  9. NBC news, brought to you by Pfizer

  10. 😢 It's all about my pockets. We can't make our ritual commission off of dead babies.

  11. Funny how you bring up big pharma, a very extreme and strong branch of the Democrat party. Everything they push is about death destruction and mayhem. That is how you know they are so intertwined with the rest of the Democratic party

  12. California apparently can NOT afford to school all these awful children, just preventing them from ever BEING is a good decision then… right? Of course, an open border to get laborers is a good thing too right,,? wait… whu…?

  13. Definitely do not want to upset your corporate donors…😂

  14. The judge is an activist idealog. Does not care about the law instead cares about his false religious beliefs

  15. Here comes more black market drugs!! It sucks the gov is deciding what we choose to use for drugs. Legal or not. It’s our choice! What happen to being a country of freedom. Lmao. Dictatorship is coming.

  16. Our country is falling apart. I’m glad my end is near.

  17. Of course the drug company has a problem with us not wanting their drug in our society. Big pharma on one side then I’m on the other

  18. Remember when big pharma was public enemy #1, Pepperidge Farms remembers.

  19. Awe. Poor Big Pharma.
    Dead babies = Big money

  20. How much did pharma and their pushers make again during the pandemic?

  21. I don’t get why people feel they need to influence others decisions they make about themselves and family. People can have their beliefs but can’t force it in others. We are adults acting like children, this is sad. We should’ve been moved on from this.

  22. Demonkkkrats won't stop till all babies no longer exist unless it's their baby or grandbaby. God is very clear about those that hurt innocents.

  23. Judge is out of line. Federal agencies have evidence judge is playing a game.

  24. The envelope was a little light..

  25. Warning: Do not take Mifepristone if pregnant.

  26. OH, pish posh with perfect passion, drive abortion women straight to gaol pits?!?

  27. big paharma wants its $$$$ lol

  28. Happy Holidays – Happy Comonautics Day friends!
    The USSR opened the Great Cosmos for the whole World.
    The first cosmonaut of the Earth Yuri Gagarin greeted the population of the planet from Space Orbit. He gave people the boundless Cosmos!

  29. Pig Pharma, "Wah, I want my money."

  30. I know how to fix the gender issue… Are your hormones directly affected by the morning after pill? You might be a redn…woman 😂

  31. Big pharma: “ hey stop messing with our profits!!!”

  32. Imagine how much might be accomplished if abortion wasn’t used as a means to distract the public from actual issues. Citizens United needs to be overturned!!

  33. Baby murderers mad because they have to move states to murder babies gtho texas then go somewhere like NY or Cali you can always murder babies there

  34. Democrats are the true baby killers now huh

  35. This judge in backwards Amarillo just goes too far in his partisan alignment because of his religious beliefs. The US Court Justices cannot be allowed to impose their religious beliefs on Americans. Time to impeach this guy that was never a judge before.

  36. Of course they want their pills pushed.. they love blood money and always has..

  37. "Black Fin", aka, the yew-know-whos 👉🏻✡️

  38. Big Pharma has the support of NBC. This goes for screwing over the American people just to make money.

  39. Big pharma is going to lose big money on this. You bet they’re going to fight this.

  40. Keep abortion legal and use it. Look at the garbage today.

  41. Nobody looking out for everyone's well-being like big pharma. So benevolent, they are. Good people. Totally not lizards.

  42. Of course big Pharma wants to defend their riches. I’m sure it will seal the deal for the “cause”, but that’s just a bonus.

  43. Brought to us by big pharma…the corporate press are sellouts. Read the ruling, learn how long it’s taken and so much more. It shows big pharma could care less along with the fda.

  44. Ooo, money talks. Unfortunately and fortunately

  45. How is it they want to ban abortions, but don't want to ban assault weapons that's been killing so many children? Either they want the best for children, or they should be quiet. I see this as a form of genocide.
