The post-Me Too era has really taught me that the underlying issue with the persistence of sexual violence isn’t exactly women’s credibility, as the “believe women” slogan suggested, but rather with rape’s moral status. It’s not that people think it doesn’t happen. They think it doesn’t matter.

![screenshot 2/2 with some words highlighted in yellow. they are offset by asterisks below:
**Second, the 2023 REMS is “otherwise not in accordance with law.” 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A). Under 18 U.S.C. § 1462** [NOTE: THIS IS THE COMSTOCK ACT. IT'S 18 U.S.C 1461-1462], Congress prohibits the use of “any express company or other common carrier or interactive computer service” for “any drug, medicine, article, or thing designed, adapted, or intended for producing abortion.” Because a federal agency cannot permit what federal law expressly prohibits, FDA lacked authority to permanently remove the in-person dispensing requirement.
For these reasons, and as set forth fully in Plaintiffs’ Complaint and supporting Memorandum of Law, interim relief is necessary and appropriate to mitigate irreparable injuries caused by the 2023 REMS. Interim relief will serve the public interest and will not harm Defendants.
This Motion is made on the grounds specified in this Motion, the accompanying Memorandum of Law, the exhibits attached to this Motion, the Complaint, and the Complaint’s accompanying exhibits, as well as on such other and further oral or documentary evidence as may be presented to the Court at or before a hearing on this Motion.1 An exhibit list and a proposed order are attached.

As Esau Lopez was asphyxiated for the first 17 minutes of his life on Earth, the atmosphere in the room remained serene, even ecstatic. Acoustic music crooned from a speaker in a modest two-bedroom apartment in a suburb of Pennsylvania. “You are a queen,” murmured one of three friends in the room.
Only Esau’s mother, Gabrielle Lopez, felt something was wrong. She was pushing hard, but her son would not be born. “Can you help [him] out?” she asked, as Esau crowned. “Baby is coming,” the friend replied. Four minutes later, Lopez asked again, “Can you grab [him]?” Another friend murmured, “Baby is safe.” Six minutes passed. Again, Lopez asked, “Can you grab [him]?” Continue reading...
