Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is leading a lawsuit to restrict access to mifepristone, a common abortion medication. He claims that the lost "potential population" from teen parents will cost the state revenue and political representation.

Missouri’s attorney general has renewed a push to restrict access to the abortion pill mifepristone, arguing in a lawsuit filed this month that its availability hurt the state by decreasing teenage pregnancy.

The revised lawsuit was filed by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, alongside GOP attorneys general in Kansas and Idaho. It asks a judge in Texas to order the Federal Drug Administration to reinstate restrictions on mifepristone, one of two medications prescribed to induce chemical abortions.

The trio of attorneys general were forced to refile the litigation after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the original lawsuit after concluding the original plaintiffs — a group of anti-abortion doctors and medical organizations — did not have standing to sue because they couldn’t show they had been harmed.

    Because there is none. None whatsoever.

    Some old bastards read an old book of fairytales and in that book of nonsense it says women are nothing more than brood mares and fuck puppets for men. Then they decided to take that book of fairytales and turn it into the law of the land. At a time when humans CAN GO INTO FUCKING SPACE we still have to deal with these shrimp brained fuckwits.

    We are touching the edges of Fusion Energy and we’ve still got to deal with these morons.
