It'd be very nice if the medical community was reminded that, no, you can't just stump for the pro-abortion lobby endlessly without consequences, but alas, it doesn't work that way:
From The Daily Wire:
Ten scientists are suing an academic journal that retracted major studies on the potential harm of abortion pills, saying that the retractions were "politically motivated."
The Charlotte Lozier Institute scientists, represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom and Consovoy McCarthy, say that Sage Publishing violated California contract law when it yanked three studies, including two on the dangers of the abortion pill, earlier this year. The retractions, which occurred weeks before the Supreme Court heard arguments on the availability of abortion pills, were first reported by The Daily Wire.
The lawsuit seeks to compel Sage to commit to arbitration over the scientists' complaints about the retractions, which were issued in February.
'By retracting three studies by Charlotte Lozier Institute scholars without any legitimate objection to any of the findings, Sage put politics over publication ethics and blatantly disregarded the principles of open inquiry and commitment to science,' said Dr. James Studnicki, vice president and director of data analytics at Charlotte Lozier Institute. 'The authors' well-earned reputations as highly qualified scientists and researchers have been immeasurably harmed. We're hopeful this opportunity to compel Sage to arbitrate in good faith will shed light on their meritless actions to silence our research.'
The journal had claimed earlier this year that the authors' affiliation with the Lozier Institute represented a "conflict of interest," though they did not clarify how being affiliated with the Lozier group actually represented a "conflict" of any kind.
The damage to the researchers' careers has been pronounced.
Studnicki, one of the authors on the papers, was also kicked off the editorial board of Sage's Health Services Research and Managerial Epidemiology journal, months before the retractions actually took place.
'Sage's wrongdoing has been causing enormous and incalculable harm to the Authors' professional reputations, as Sage intended. Because of Sage's retractions, the Authors and their research have been attacked by the media and by other authors, and the Authors have had new research proposals inexplicably turned away by other publications that now fear associating with them,' lawyers for the scientists wrote in a petition in Ventura Superior Court. 'The Authors have years — even decades — of fruitful research ahead of them, but they are now being treated as pariahs.'
In any event, the question of the dangers of abortion pills is not merely academic. Remember, a woman died a brutal death a short while ago after taking abortion pills to abort her twin babies:
It turns out the largely unregulated industry of abortion pills, coupled with inept medical doctors, are highly dangerous for both mothers and unborn babies.
The majority of abortions, meanwhile, are done via the deadly and dangerous abortion pill:
Now we'll need some answer as to why Sage Publishing retracted these studies on the risks of abortion pills, especially considering that the retraction was done "due to a single reader's complaint" about the data and the affiliation with a pro-life organization.
I'll leave you with a reminder of what abortion pills do:
