The amendment would not apply to any drug that is applied to the FDA that the primary purpose is not intended to be an abortifacient.

If that drug were being applied for now, its primary intended use is for ulcer prevention and treatment. This amendment would not preclude the application of that NDA for that drug.

That is not partisan. That is just due to the fact that there is not a commitment to reconciliation and working together to get things done.
I am proud of the really collegial effort that we are privileged to take part in.
The three Cs. Communicate and compromise, those are the secrets for a vibrant democracy.
