In August 2018, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered a ban on Chlorpyrifos.
EPA Response:
“EPA spokesman Michael Abboud said that the agency is reviewing the court decision. He also questioned data from [CCCEH] regarding the health effects of chlorpyrifos.”

“Even low to moderate levels of exposure to the insecticide chlorpyrifos during pregnancy may lead to long-term, potentially irreversible changes in the brain structure of the child.” 
Chlorpyrifos “has been linked to neurodevelopmental problems such as reduced birth sizes and weights, lower I.Q.s, attention deficit problems and disorders on the autism spectrum-symptoms found with higher frequency in farming communities, studies suggest.”
Lifting the ban on Chlorpyrifos is in direct opposition to the right’s strict & long-held stance of fighting for the rights of an unborn fetus.
