☆ Mailing abortion pills could break law, Republican AGs tell pharmacies
  + stars: | 2023-02-02 | by ( Brendan Pierson | Thomson Reuters | Brendan Pierson Reports On Product Liability Litigation | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Feb 1 (Reuters) - A group of 20 Republican state attorneys general on Wednesday told Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc (WBA.O) and CVS Health Corp (CVS.N) that they risk running afoul of federal and state law if they dispense the abortion drug mifepristone by mail. Walgreens and CVS have said they intend to become certified and dispense the drug in states where abortion is legal, though neither has yet done so. Mifepristone, used in combination with another drug, misoprostol, is approved for abortion within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. The attorneys general called this interpretation "bizarre" and warned that mailing the drug could violate some states' laws. Meanwhile, generic mifepristone manufacturer GenBioPro and a doctor have challenged restrictions on the drug in West Virginia and North Carolina, respectively.

Missouri's abortion ban completely outlaws abortion with limited exceptions. The clergy, who come from denominations of Christianity, Unitarian Universalism, and Judaism, said the abortion ban violates their religious freedom and subjects them to "the religious dictates of others." "It came from religious leaders and communities, who have been explaining for decades that they see reproductive freedom as essential to religious freedom." But Missouri lawmakers openly discussed their religious beliefs on abortion while writing the abortion ban in 2019 according to the lawsuit, saying things like "Life begins at conception. There have also been more than a dozen cases challenging abortion restrictions on religious freedom grounds since the Supreme Court's decision, according to Platt.

A 19-year-old Missouri woman can't be a witness to her father's execution after a judge ruled Friday that a state law barring her from being present because of her age is constitutional. Kevin Johnson, 37, has been in prison since Ramey was 2 for the 2005 killing of William McEntee, a police officer in Kirkwood, Missouri. But Missouri law says that no person younger than 21 can witness an execution. Johnson's fate remains unclear after a motion asking for his execution to be halted was filed by a special prosecutor, Edward Keenan. The Missouri Attorney General's Office, however, believes Johnson's execution should go on and that "the surviving victims of Johnson's crimes have waited long enough for justice."

ST. LOUIS — A 19-year-old woman is asking a federal court to allow her to watch her father’s death by injection, despite a Missouri law barring anyone under 21 from witnessing an execution. Kevin Johnson faces execution Nov. 29 for killing Kirkwood, Missouri, Police Officer William McEntee in 2005. Meanwhile, Johnson has requested that his daughter, Khorry Ramey, attend the execution, and she wants to be there. The ACLU’s court filing said the law barring under 21s serves no safety purpose and violates Ramey’s Constitutional rights. In a court filing last week to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Missouri Attorney General’s Office stated there were no grounds for court intervention.

☆ Why a federal court blocked Biden's student-debt cancellation even after a major loan company undermined a key argument in the GOP-led lawsuit
  + stars: | 2022-11-15 | by ( Ayelet Sheffey | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The 8th Circuit blocked Biden's student-debt relief in response to a lawsuit filed by six GOP-led states. It said the states' argument that the relief would hurt student-loan company MOHELA has standing. But a district judge previously dismissed that argument, and MOHELA said it wasn't involved in the case. This was in response to a lawsuit filed by Missouri and five other Republican-led states who argued the loan forgiveness would hurt the states' tax revenues, along with that of Missouri-based student-loan company MOHELA. "This unanticipated financial downturn will prevent or delay Missouri from funding higher education at its public colleges and universities."
☆ A major student-loan company just undermined the GOP-led lawsuit that temporarily halted Biden's debt cancellation

Six GOP-led states said in a lawsuit that Biden's student-debt relief will hurt loan company MOHELA. "It is unconscionable that your company—as one of the largest student loan companies in the world—would be involved in overtly political efforts to rob millions of their right to student loan debt relief," Bush wrote in her October 18 letter. Any available funds above reasonable operating needs and reserves are devoted by MOHELA to student financial aid." Even with this new information, it's unclear when the 8th Circuit will make a decision on whether the debt relief can move forward. "MOHELA has cut the single thread this frivolous lawsuit was hanging by, Braxton Brewington, spokesperson for advocacy group the Debt Collective, said in a statement.
☆ Biden 'social cost of carbon' climate risk measure upheld by U.S. appeals court
  + stars: | 2022-10-21 | by ( Clark Mindock | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The social cost of carbon metric is used in rulemaking processes and permitting decisions to calculate economic damages associated with a rise in greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels and other activities. The decision supports the Biden administration's argument that states cannot sue until federal agencies incorporate the metric into decisions. The Democratic Biden administration had determined the cost to be around $51 per metric ton of carbon dioxide emissions, quintuple the roughly $10 figure implemented under Trump, a Republican. The states argued in a lawsuit filed in Missouri federal court last year that the pricing system would lead to regulatory restrictions that would overburden farmers and manufacturers. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed that sweeping injunction, the U.S. Supreme Court in May affirmed.

Rep. Cori Bush requested information from student-loan company MOHELA on its involvement in a lawsuit. Six GOP-led states recently argued Biden's debt relief would hurt the business operations of MOHELA. "It is unconscionable that your company—as one of the largest student loan companies in the world—would be involved in overtly political efforts to rob millions of their right to student loan debt relief," Bush wrote. "To date, your company has remained silent about the legal efforts filed on your behalf to halt President Biden's student debt cancellation program. Does MOHELA support efforts to block debt relief in an effort to preserve its own profits?
