A federal judge upheld West Virginia’s abortion ban as constitutional Thursday, rejecting almost every part of abortion pill manufacturer GenBioPro, Inc.’s lawsuit.
U.S. District Judge Robert Chambers, a Clinton appointee, rejected the manufacturer’s claims that the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of the abortion pill preempts the state ban’s prohibition of chemical abortions and that the abortion ban violates the Constitution’s Commerce Clause. GenBioPro, Inc. initially filed the lawsuit challenging the state’s Unborn Child Protection Act in January.
“States enact laws pursuant to their police power to regulate public health and morality,” Chambers wrote. “Morality-based laws often curtail the sale of goods. The vendors of curtailed goods may lose sales opportunities. Outraged, vendors can feel the laws must somehow be unconstitutional.”
“And yet, the Supreme Court and Courts of Appeals have repeatedly affirmed that morality-based product bans do not intrinsically offend the dormant Commerce Clause,” the judge continued.
The court did allow the manufacturer’s challenge to the state’s prohibition on prescribing the abortion pill via telehealth to continue.
West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said in a statement Thursday that he is “pleased the court saw it the way we did.”

“While it may not sit well with manufacturers of abortion drugs, the U.S. Supreme Court has made it clear that regulating abortion is a state issue,” Morrisey continued. “I will always stand strong for the life of the unborn.”
GenBioPro CEO Evan Masingill said in a statement provided to the DCNF that the company is “currently reviewing” the ruling.
“We are confident in the legal strength of our claims and are considering our next steps in the fight to ensure access for patients who need this essential medication,” Masingill said.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Today’s ruling elites champion policies every previous generation of Americans would have regarded as outright evil. At the top of that list would be the supremely radioactive issue – illuminated by the hit summer film “Sound of Freedom” – of the widespread trafficking and sexual slavery of children, as well as the shocking prevalence of pedophiles in the United States of America. Indeed, the U.S. is the largest market for child sexual abuse in the world.
According to Tim Ballard, who has led many missions rescuing sex-trafficked children around the world, the Biden administration actually ENABLES AND PROMOTES the trafficking and sexual slavery of children with its horrendous border policies, its push for early sexualization of children, championing children’s “right to consent” on everything including mutilating transgender surgeries, and so on.
“Pedophiles are sitting back right now,” says Ballard, “and going, ‘We’ve been pushing this agenda for decades, and now we don’t have to push any more, because the left is taking care of it for us’ – IN AMERICA!”
Ballard’s concerns are confirmed by Tara Lee Rodas, a Health and Human Services whistleblower who recently testified before Congress that under Joe Biden, “THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME THE MIDDLEMAN IN A LARGE-SCALE, MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR CHILD TRAFFICKING OPERATION.”
But that’s just the beginning. The whole, secret criminal mega-enterprise of child sex trafficking and the global elites’ affinity for pedophilia is exposed as never before in the August issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, in a groundbreaking issue titled “THE NEW AMERICAN SLAVE TRADE: How the Biden regime enables and promotes child sex trafficking in the U.S.A.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
