The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | Dr. Donna Harrison Explains Lawsuit Against FDA, Says Agency Illegally Approved Chemical Abortion Drugs

A group of medical doctors and organizations argues that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration illegally approved chemical abortion drugs, and has filed a lawsuit to remove such pills form the market. 


“We believe that women should be empowered with accurate information, and what we’ve seen in this chemical abortion push is deception from square one, and this is wrong,” says Dr. Donna Harrison, a board-certified OB-GYN who is chief executive officer of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists.


The Christian legal organization Alliance Defending Freedom recently filed suit in federal court on behalf of four physicians and four groups, including Harrison’s organization.


Harrison and attorney Erik Baptist, a senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, join this episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain how chemical abortion drugs first entered the market and why suing the FDA was necessary. Harrison also details what chemical abortion drugs do to a woman’s body.

Short Wave - DART: The Impacts Of Slamming A Spacecraft Into An Asteroid

If an asteroid were hurling through space, making a beeline straight to Earth, how would humans prevent it from doing what it did to the dinosaurs? Would we bomb it? Would we shoot lasers at it like a scene from Hollywood's latest sci-fi flick? Well, the folks at NASA have designed and tested a theory.

"The DART mission, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, is essentially our first test of a kinetic impact for planetary defense." says Cristina Thomas, assistant professor of Astronomy and Planetary Science at Northern Arizona University.

Put simply, scientists at NASA took a spacecraft and crashed it into an asteroid — hoping the little nudge, like bumper cars, would be enough to push the asteroid off course.

Today on the show, Short Wave's scientist-in-residence Regina G. Barber talks to Cristina Thomas about what it was like watching the success of the DART mission and what this means for science and planetary defense.

Consider This from NPR - The Deal That Freed Brittney Griner

President Biden on Thursday announced the negotiated release of WNBA star Brittney Griner from a penal colony in Russia and her return to the U.S. She had been detained since February, when Russian authorities found a small amount of hash oil in vape cartidges that were in her luggage when she arrived in the country.

In return, the U.S. released convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout.

NPR's White House Correspondent Franco Ordoñez and Moscow Correspondent Charles Maynes walk through the details of the deal.

And White House National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby explains how the negotiations unfolded.
