Summary

On Wednesday, a federal appeals court ruled that the drug mifepristone, used to medically induce abortions, may remain on the market while the lawsuit against the Food and Drug Administration is underway. Mifepristone earned FDA approval decades ago and is now used in over half of US pregnancy terminations, yet now access to the drug is in limbo, with the appeals panel imposing limits on when the pill can be used and barring Americans from receiving the pill by mail. FOX News Contributor and Law Professor at George Washington University Jonathan Turley joins the Rundown to discuss the possible dangers of mailing the drug to patients, the likelihood of this case reaching the Supreme Court, and the legal implications of the new restrictions imposed on mifepristone. Life expectancy in the United States has been on a steady decline even before the pandemic. However, even in 2022, while other nations saw their average life expectancy rebound, the Americans’ fell to just above 76 years old. On top of that issue, the Journal of the American Medical Association has recorded a rise in pediatric mortality. So why do Americans seem to be in worse health than before? Fox News Medical Contributor, Dr. Nicole Saphier, joins the podcast to explain how mental health is impacting the overall physical health of U.S. citizens, the issue of access to healthcare in rural areas, and the importance of fostering healthy living habits. Don't miss the good news with Tonya J. Powers. Plus, commentary from co-host of Fox & Friends Weekends and Host of ‘The Will Cain Podcast’ Will Cain. Learn more about your ad choices.
