Meet the zealots suing the FDA to block access to abortion pills.

Their arguments in this baseless case make a joke of real science and evidence, all of which prove #medicationabortion's safety and effectiveness.

It’s time to shed light on who these jokers really are 🧵:

George Delgado:

🃏Spreads lies about abortion that have been repeatedly debunked
🃏Fearmongers about birth control and IVF
🃏History of funding GOP super PAC
🃏Journal articles retracted due to ethical concerns
🃏Claims false affiliation with UC San Diego

Sen. Tyler Johnson:

🃏Calls for a total ban on abortion
🃏Wants to throw abortion providers in jail
🃏Celebrated the overturning of Roe
🃏Wrote, sponsored, and voted for anti-LGBTQ bill
🃏Anti-vaxxer and longstanding GOP donor

Regina Frost:

🃏Said she would rather leave the health care profession than provide abortion care
🃏Doesn’t want medical students to receive training in gender-affirming or abortion care
🃏Believes women’s “God-given role” is as “helpers” to men

Shaun Jester:

🃏Filed the case to eliminate access to mifepristone with extremist group Alliance Defending Freedom
🃏Funded anti-choice Republican Ben Carson’s campaign
🃏His last name is *literally* jester

Quentin Van Meter:

🃏Long history of amplifying dangerous lies about abortion
🃏Fearmongered about health risks of mifepristone despite 20+ year safety record
🃏Supports anti-LGBTQ policies and deeply harmful “conversion therapy”
🃏Spreads anti-transgender myths

These plaintiffs—who have a long history of anti-choice activism—aren’t showing up as doctors.

They’re showing up as who they really are: anti-choice fanatics willing to lie through their teeth to end abortion care.

We can't let them ram through their backward agenda.
