RUSH TRANSCRIPT Might or ░░░░░░░░ matter for standing purposes ░░░░░░░░ plaintiffs who is suing ░░░░░░░░ restrict access to mifepristone ░░░░░░░░ Christina frances She s ░░░░░░░░ CEO of the American ░░░░░░░░ of pro life ob ░░░░░░░░ And she has joined ░░░░░░░░ by her attorney kristen ░░░░░░░░ who is also the ░░░░░░░░ president and general counsel ░░░░░░░░ the Alliance Defending Freedom ░░░░░░░░ it s great to ░░░░░░░░ you both after listening ░░░░░░░░ that really fascinating back ░░░░░░░░ forth today And dr ░░░░░░░░ some of the sharp ░░░░░░░░ from some of the ░░░░░░░░ are wonder how you ░░░░░░░░ today went well we ░░░░░░░░ honored to be there ░░░░░░░░ court today to be ░░░░░░░░ to bring our case ░░░░░░░░ is about the Women ░░░░░░░░ of the reckless actions ░░░░░░░░ the FDA and removing ░░░░░░░░ safeguards And what I ░░░░░░░░ today in the court ░░░░░░░░ that the FDA feels ░░░░░░░░ it s above the ░░░░░░░░ all they said that ░░░░░░░░ one would have standing ░░░░░░░░ bring this kind of ░░░░░░░░ against them and what ░░░░░░░░ also heard from our ░░░░░░░░ was a good presentation ░░░░░░░░ the evidence of the ░░░░░░░░ nature of what the ░░░░░░░░ has done and presenting ░░░░░░░░ case that those of ░░░░░░░░ that are on the ░░░░░░░░ lines that are taking ░░░░░░░░ of women and in ░░░░░░░░ hospital are seeing more ░░░░░░░░ more women being harmed ░░░░░░░░ these high risk drugs ░░░░░░░░ of the FDA removing ░░░░░░░░ essential safeguards To be ░░░░░░░░ centered not even around ░░░░░░░░ merits of the issue ░░░░░░░░ but but whether whether ░░░░░░░░ group has the standing ░░░░░░░░ bring this hey I ░░░░░░░░ do you believe that ░░░░░░░░ were able to effectively ░░░░░░░░ that to some pretty ░░░░░░░░ justices both liberal and ░░░░░░░░ ones Did an excellent ░░░░░░░░ of talking about why ░░░░░░░░ an emergency situation when ░░░░░░░░ are presenting with life ░░░░░░░░ g complications related to ░░░░░░░░ use of these drugs ░░░░░░░░ we as physicians are ░░░░░░░░ called down to the ░░░░░░░░ room to complete the ░░░░░░░░ process and that the ░░░░░░░░ that we are seeing ░░░░░░░░ and more of these ░░░░░░░░ who are suffering from ░░░░░░░░ effects of these drugs ░░░░░░░░ given under unsafe conditions ░░░░░░░░ into our emergency room ░░░░░░░░ a harm to us ░░░░░░░░ physicians and we desire ░░░░░░░░ care for that then ░░░░░░░░ for our patients and ░░░░░░░░ really think that no ░░░░░░░░ what someone s position ░░░░░░░░ abortion is we should ░░░░░░░░ be in agreement that ░░░░░░░░ deserve better health care ░░░░░░░░ this You have never ░░░░░░░░ to go to the ░░░░░░░░ the room to do ░░░░░░░░ You ve never been ░░░░░░░░ to perform an abortion ░░░░░░░░ someone who had complications ░░░░░░░░ taking this right Care ░░░░░░░░ women in our emergency ░░░░░░░░ who have come in ░░░░░░░░ complications and had to ░░░░░░░░ procedures to finish removing ░░░░░░░░ contents of their pregnancy ░░░░░░░░ there the uterus But ░░░░░░░░ it s the FDA ░░░░░░░░ actions and removing these ░░░░░░░░ that would note in ░░░░░░░░ and visit I have ░░░░░░░░ brought down to the ░░░░░░░░ room to complete the ░░░░░░░░ that was started by ░░░░░░░░ abortion drugs And again ░░░░░░░░ is happening more and ░░░░░░░░ frequently because women are ░░░░░░░░ even receiving in person ░░░░░░░░ medical care prior to ░░░░░░░░ these high risk drugs ░░░░░░░░ of the FDA s ░░░░░░░░ Christian you re the ░░░░░░░░ here Making clear today ░░░░░░░░ that despite what the ░░░░░░░░ Says they weren t ░░░░░░░░ to show that they ░░░░░░░░ actually suffered harm from ░░░░░░░░ drug and that they ░░░░░░░░ in the future if ░░░░░░░░ remains available I mean ░░░░░░░░ whole thing was really ░░░░░░░░ the federal conscience objections ░░░░░░░░ able to be enough ░░░░░░░░ Number of stunning and ░░░░░░░░ in the court today ░░░░░░░░ was that we heard ░░░░░░░░ the first time the ░░░░░░░░ government suggest that there ░░░░░░░░ contrary it s rights ░░░░░░░░ exist But again as ░░░░░░░░ Francis has said it ░░░░░░░░ extremely impractical to suggest ░░░░░░░░ you can raise your ░░░░░░░░ and a life threatening ░░░░░░░░ and not provide your ░░░░░░░░ care And that s ░░░░░░░░ really even completely about ░░░░░░░░ the burden is here ░░░░░░░░ the physicians because they ░░░░░░░░ that the FDA s ░░░░░░░░ label right now when ░░░░░░░░ go out and you ░░░░░░░░ just drag it tells ░░░░░░░░ that 1 25 women ░░░░░░░░ going to have to ░░░░░░░░ the emergency room and ░░░░░░░░ to 7 of women ░░░░░░░░ going to have surgical ░░░░░░░░ And what we are ░░░░░░░░ about is restoring common ░░░░░░░░ safeguards just like visiting ░░░░░░░░ dr In person before ░░░░░░░░ are essentially induced into ░░░░░░░░ in your dorm room ░░░░░░░░ has the right to ░░░░░░░░ the FDA And this ░░░░░░░░ the same FDA that ░░░░░░░░ us that opioid safe ░░░░░░░░ opioids where you safe ░░░░░░░░ use for chronic pain ░░░░░░░░ that surely no one ░░░░░░░░ get addicted Comparison given ░░░░░░░░ drug is pretty safe ░░░░░░░░ you look at the ░░░░░░░░ facts here it the ░░░░░░░░ death rate is 0 ░░░░░░░░ 5 from someone who ░░░░░░░░ this drug and has ░░░░░░░░ penicillin is more dangerous ░░░░░░░░ mifepristone and that s ░░░░░░░░ used in the United ░░░░░░░░ That s not being ░░░░░░░░ before the Supreme Court ░░░░░░░░ that s actually not ░░░░░░░░ in the sense of ░░░░░░░░ the FDA s own ░░░░░░░░ no it s not ░░░░░░░░ the FDA s own ░░░░░░░░ and documents say Are ░░░░░░░░ up to 7 of ░░░░░░░░ are going to have ░░░░░░░░ interventions in just 2000 ░░░░░░░░ ingest 2020 the FDA ░░░░░░░░ that an in person ░░░░░░░░ Visit is not only ░░░░░░░░ burdensome on a patient ░░░░░░░░ it s necessary and ░░░░░░░░ explicitly said that thousands ░░░░░░░░ women are presenting with ░░░░░░░░ complications as a result ░░░░░░░░ taking this drug This ░░░░░░░░ t me saying it ░░░░░░░░ what the FDA has ░░░░░░░░ What they say in ░░░░░░░░ now is very different ░░░░░░░░ what their own data ░░░░░░░░ you Pill It s ░░░░░░░░ safe but on the ░░░░░░░░ even on that in ░░░░░░░░ of itself the question ░░░░░░░░ whether or not they ░░░░░░░░ this standing to bring ░░░░░░░░ in Dr Justice Amy ░░░░░░░░ Barrett herself seemed especially ░░░░░░░░ of that She pointed ░░░░░░░░ what you had submitted ░░░░░░░░ particular basically saying that ░░░░░░░░ weren t able hello ░░░░░░░░ show that you ve ░░░░░░░░ the harm to actually ░░░░░░░░ this case to have ░░░░░░░░ legal standing to bring ░░░░░░░░ Do you still think ░░░░░░░░ she ll ultimately rule ░░░░░░░░ your side and the ░░░░░░░░ of this well I ░░░░░░░░ hope that the justices ░░░░░░░░ hear what we have ░░░░░░░░ which is that those ░░░░░░░░ us again who are ░░░░░░░░ the front lines taking ░░░░░░░░ have been abandoned by ░░░░░░░░ FDA women that had ░░░░░░░░ abandoned by those who ░░░░░░░░ giving the abortion drug ░░░░░░░░ who are not performing ░░░░░░░░ follow up those of ░░░░░░░░ who are taking care ░░░░░░░░ them are seeing the ░░░░░░░░ that women are experiencing ░░░░░░░░ are seeing it in ░░░░░░░░ as they come into ░░░░░░░░ emergency rooms And I ░░░░░░░░ that the justices heard ░░░░░░░░ today and heard the ░░░░░░░░ that that s causing ░░░░░░░░ us as well And ░░░░░░░░ really this was the ░░░░░░░░ s responsibility to ensure ░░░░░░░░ these high risk drugs ░░░░░░░░ dispensing it s been ░░░░░░░░ safe manner they recognized ░░░░░░░░ they approve these drugs ░░░░░░░░ 2000 that they were ░░░░░░░░ risk drugs and put ░░░░░░░░ place very commonsense safeguards ░░░░░░░░ kristen said we re ░░░░░░░░ simply asking for those ░░░░░░░░ safeguards that provide ongoing ░░░░░░░░ care for women who ░░░░░░░░ taking these high risk ░░░░░░░░ be reinstated so that ░░░░░░░░ can receive the care ░░░░░░░░ they deserve I mean ░░░░░░░░ judges seemed very skeptical ░░░░░░░░ the evidence to back ░░░░░░░░ up we will see ░░░░░░░░ they decide in
