The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has kicked up a potential abortion hornet’s nest with states that impose restrictions on a common abortion-inducing drug, approving a new label for the medication that relaxes guidelines for using it.

The FDA notified the manufacturer of Mifeprex, a drug previously known as RU-486, in a letter on Tuesday that the drug is safe and effective for terminating a pregnancy in accordance with the new label. Also known as mifepristone, the synthetic steroid drug is used in combination with another drug, misoprostol, to end a pregnancy.
Under the new label, a smaller dose of Mifeprex can be used significantly later in the pregnancy — up to 70 days of gestation, from 49 days.
The decision could rankle lawmakers in states that required the drugs to be used in accordance with the original labels. Critics complained those labels were outdated and restrictive.

Abortion rights groups say the FDA change will now affect laws in Ohio, North Dakota and Texas that prohibited "off-label" uses of the drug. Similar laws are on hold in Arizona, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
The National Right to Life Committee argued that the FDA changes would not increase safety for women.
“In the end, it is obvious that the FDA's new protocol serves only the interests of the abortion industry by expanding their base of potential customers, increasing their profit margin, and reducing the level of staff and amount of resources they have to devote to the patient,” Randall K. O'Bannon, National Right to Life director of education and research, said in a statement. “It is clear whose interests it is the FDA is serving. It isn't the women, and it isn't the babies.”
The new label rules will make it easier to use the drug. Not only do they widen the window for using it, but according to the New York Times, they reduce the number of trips women have to make to a doctor from three to two in most states.
Under the new label, the drug dosage has been reduced from 600 milligrams to 200 as well. According to The New York Times, the previous dosage had been deemed too high by most medical societies and abortion rights advocates said it increased the cost and side effects of the procedure.
The drug, formerly known as RU-486, induces miscarriage when used with misoprostol.
“This is a huge step in increasing access to medication abortion and it comports with the scientific evidence,” Elizabeth Nash, a senior state issues associate at the Guttmacher Institute, which tracks women’s reproductive health issues, told The New York Times. She said that medication abortions accounted for about a quarter of all abortions in 2011, the last year measured by the institute.
According to a statement by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the organization was “pleased that the updated FDA-approved regimen for mifepristone reflects the current available scientific evidence and best practices.”
Additionally, The New York Times reported the group saying, “medication abortion has been subject to legislative attacks in various states across the country, including mandated regimens that do not reflect the current scientific evidence. We hope that these states take the FDA label into account.”

Donald Trump proposes abortion ban, punishment for women who undergo procedure
Listen to Military Veteran Talk Radio Facebook.com/SmythRadio
Donald Trump said Wednesday that abortions should be banned and that there "has to be some form of punishment" for women who undergo the procedure.
In a pre-taped segment for an MSNBC town hall that will air Wednesday night, host Chris Matthews asked the GOP frontrunner if women should be punished for having abortions.
"I would say it's a very serious problem and it's a problem that we have to decide on," Trump initially said.
Asked what his proposal to ban abortion means, Trump said "I am against. I am pro-life. Yes. I am pro-life." But Trump failed to explain how he would actually ban the procedure.
"You know, you'll go back to a position like they had where people perhaps will go to illegal places," he said when asked how he would outlaw it. "But you have to ban it."

Matthews eventually asked Trump if he believes in punishment for abortion as a principle "The answer is there has to be some form of punishment," Trump said. "For the women [who have abortions]?" Matthews followed up. "Yes," Trump responded.
Matthews then asked Trump, "10 days or 10 years" and Trump said, "I don't know. That, I don't know," adding that this is a "very complicated position."
After the clip of that segment aired, Trump issued a statement of clarification.
"This issue is unclear and should be put back into the states for determination. Like Ronald Reagan, I am pro- life with exceptions, which I have outlined numerous times," Trump said.
Hillary Clinton immediately weighed in on Trump's remarks on Twitter.
During a pre-taped interview that will also air during MSNBC's town hall, host Chuck Todd asked anti-abortion Ohio governor John Kasich if he would punish women who get abortions.
"Absolutely not," Kasich said. "I do have exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother but of course women shouldn't be punished. Look, you know -- I think probably Donald Trump will figure out a way to say that he didn't say it or he was misquoted or whatever but I don't think so. I don't think that's an appropriate response and it's a difficult enough situation then to try to punish somebody."
Asked how abortion could ever be banned, Kasich said, "I think it's rape, incest, life of the mother, and you build some restrictions around it, but I think you have to be very careful in the way you do it. We're a long way from there."
Trump has admitted during this presidential election that he had once been pro-abortion, but is now strongly anti-abortion. While his opponents, however, have blasted Planned Parenthood, Trump has actually defended the organization for some of the other health services it provides to women.
Just last month, Ted Cruz released a campaign ad that targeted Trump's previous position on abortion. It used footage from an interview Trump did on "Meet the Press" in 1999 where he says, ""I'm very pro-choice" and says he would not ban partial-birth abortions.

Mike Huckabee Says Ted Cruz "Constantly Changes Positions" On Plenty Of Issues
blogs.cbn.com
The kitchen sink has officially been thrown.
In an exclusive interview with The Brody File, Mike Huckabee calls out Ted Cruz as a flip flopper on his positions when it comes to immigration, Syrian refugees, ethanol and the role of the federal government when it comes to abortion and marriage. ““Do I want to vote for someone who has had a lot of different positions on every issue out there? They sound very convincing but constantly changes position,” Huckabee tells The Brody File from Cedar Rapids Iowa. Huckabee goes on to list his specific policy concerns with Cruz. Watch the video below along with the transcription.
It goes without saying that Huckabee hasn’t done as well in the polls in 2016 than he did in 2008 but the former winner of the Iowa Caucus wants evangelicals here in this state to understand something very important. “The reasons you supported me eight years ago, I’ve not changed one position. You don’t have video of me saying two different things. You don’t have video of me saying something different in Marshalltown Iowa than I said in Manhattan. If I said it in Washington, I said it in Waukee (Iowa)… I don’t have a lot of different opinions on these issues.”
As for whether or not Huckabee can surprise folks Monday night when the Iowa Caucus takes place, he says, “Iowa people are very independent. They don’t do what the New York media tell them what they’re going to do. They do what they choose to do. I still think we’re going to have a big surprise come February 1st." Huckabee has visited all 99 counties in Iowa and has done hundreds of events. Now he just needs the payoff.

Mike Huckabee: “Do I want to vote for someone who has had a lot of different positions on every issue out there? They sound very convincing but constantly changes position; immigration, Syrian refugees, ethanol, changed his position even on whether abortion is a state issue or a federal issue.
David Brody: “You’re referring to Ted Cruz on this?
Mike Huckabee: Yes. Ted is one of the people you mentioned has had some of the support of the folks that supported Santorum and me (Bob Vander Plaats). Here’s what I can tell those folks: the reasons you supported me eight years ago, I’ve not changed one position. You don’t have video of me saying two different things. You don’t have video of me saying something different in Marshalltown Iowa than I said in Manhattan. If I said it in Washington, I said it in Waukee (Iowa)… I don’t have a lot of different opinions on these issues that I believe are fundamental to the survival of our great republic. I’ve been thoroughly vetted, there’s no surprises and there’s also one thing they can be reassured of; I know absolutely I was born in Hope Arkansas and we have absolutely established that you are eligible to run for president if you were born in Hope Arkansas
Mike Huckabee: Iowa people are very independent. They don’t do what the New York media tell them what they’re going to do. They do what they choose to do. I still think we’re going to have a big surprise come February 1st.

BOMBSHELL! Lois Lerner Tried to Get Obama DOJ and FEC to Also Attack Tea Party Groups
“I got a call today from Richard Pilger Director Elections Crimes Branch at DOJ … He wanted to know who at IRS the DOJ folk s [sic] could talk to about Sen. Whitehouse idea at the hearing that DOJ could piece together false statement cases about applicants who “lied” on their 1024s –saying they weren’t planning on doing political activity, and then turning around and making large visible political expenditures. DOJ is feeling like it needs to respond, but want to talk to the right folks at IRS to see whether there are impediments from our side and what, if any damage this might do to IRS programs. I told him that sounded like we might need several folks from IRS,” Lerner wrote in a May 8, 2013 email to former Nikole C. Flax, who was former-Acting IRS Commissioner Steven T. Miller’s chief of staff.After this email exchange, Lerner handed things off to Senior Technical Adviser and Attorney Nancy Marks, who was in charge of setting up a meeting with DOJ.
“I think we should do it – also need to include CI [Criminal Investigation Division], which we can help coordinate. Also, we need to reach out to FEC. Does it make sense to consider including them in this or keep it separate?” Flax responded on May 9, 2013.
This news follows the revelation that the second ranking member in the House Oversight Committee, Democrat Elijah Cummings, worked in collusion with the IRS in attacking True the Vote, a group out of Houston who works against voter fraud. Cummings had earlier denied any coordination with the IRS, but that denial has been proven to be a lie.
As this news breaks, Lois Lerner is waiting to see if the House will hold her in contempt after the House Oversight Committee voted to hold her in contempt. TPNN also previously reported that Lerner “referred to the Justice Department by the House Ways and Means Committee for potential prosecution of her actions. If convicted of the crimes for which she has been accused, she could face 11 years in prison.”
Given the collusion between the Obama Department of InJustice and Lerner in relation to this IRS scandal and attack against Tea Party and conservative groups, many do not believe that Eric Holder will act against her. His refusal to appoint a private and independent investigator into this scandal has been met with criticism from those on the right side of the aisle.
Despite this mounting evidence of collusion between Democrats, the IRS, and the DOJ, President Obama claimed during an interview on Super Bowl Sunday that there was not a smidgen of corruption in regards to the matter.

How to End an Abortion Debate Quickly
Can you describe to me a situation that could happen to you in your life that would cause you to actually commit suicide?
This should not be rhetorical. Make them tell you how bad it would have to get in oder for them to really do it. And I don't mean to describe a situation in which he or she would think about committing suicide, I really mean actually carrying it out.
If the pro-choicer begins to describe a situation, then you have the moral high ground. In fact, I would go as far as saying that the character of your debate opponent is so questionable that you could claim that he or she should have no right to have a say in government policy anyway.
But if they say "No," they cannot describe such a situation, as I believe most will, then you can point out the moral of this exercise:
An innocent life is a gift that should take precedence over any worldly situation that life may be confronted with.
