    FDA relaxes controversial restrictions on access to abortion pill by mail.
    NPR (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 87% • 4 min read

    The drug, mifepristone, is approved for use in combination with another medication, misoprostol, to terminate pregnancies up to 10 weeks and is sometimes used to treat women experiencing miscarriages. Today, about 40% of patients seeking abortions use pills rather than having a surgical procedure.
    ...
    Before the coronavirus pandemic, doctors could prescribe the pills only to patients who were able to pick them up in person. But in response to Covid-19, the Biden administration suspended that requirement, allowing them to be mailed to patients instead. The decision by the FDA on Thursday makes that change permanent.
    ...
    Major medical groups including the American Medical Association argue that since mifepristone was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2000, it has built up a strong safety record. Nonetheless, mifepristone is subject to layers of restrictions beyond those applied to typical prescription drugs.

Should Congress have bailed out the airlines during the pandemic?

398 votes, 37 comments

Context: CEOs of bailed-out airlines face questioning from lawmakers.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

No - As a general rule the U.S. taxpayers should stop bailing out businesses whose poor management and planning allow them to go under the minute the market hits a roadblock. Not only does it encourage those businesses to continue engaging in the same poor business practices which led them to be unprepared, but then they feel justified in doing so all while sticking future generations with the bill since it all came from borrowed money.


Yes - I would almost always say no to the government bailing out an...
