I think even the Biden administration has thrown up their hands around this. They may do it, but they know they're going to be challenged. They know they're going to lose in court.
Imagine the government declaring abortion a public health emergency. Sounds extreme, right? In this episode of 'American Medicine Today', Rik Mehta, a former FDA official and current healthcare professor at Georgetown University, joins hosts Kimberly Bermel Benati and Ethan Euchre to tackle this controversial topic. With pro-abortion advocates and Democratic legislators urging the Biden administration to take drastic executive action, the big question is: Is it constitutional? Mehta dives into the legal complexities surrounding such a declaration.
He sheds light on the current federal case in Texas against the FDA regarding medication abortions and discusses the FDA's recent decision to lift risk evaluation and mitigation rules on these medications. The conversation doesn't stop there. Mehta also addresses the push for mail-order medication abortions and the broader political implications of these moves, especially in an election year. But that's not all.
The episode also touches on the often-overlooked need for male birth control, adding another layer to the debate. Mehta's insights offer a raw and engaging look at the potential impacts of declaring a public health emergency over abortion, making listeners ponder the scientific and constitutional grounds of such a decision. For anyone interested in the intersection of healthcare, law, and politics, this episode provides a thought-provoking discussion that goes beyond the headlines.
Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the complex issues at play.
