Washington Gov. Jay Inslee stockpiles abortion pills in ‘resistance’ to potential second Trump presidency

In preparation for “The resistance to a new Trump administration,” Washington’s Democratic Governor Jay Inslee is stockpiling abortion pills. After the US Supreme Court ruled against a challenge to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) regulatory approval process of the chemical abortion drug Mifepristone, leaders of the Democratic Party are preparing in case a new Trump administration rescinds the approval or uses the 1873 Comstock Act to criminalize mailing the drug across state lines. 

In an article titled, "The Resistance to a New Trump Administration Has Already Started," The New York Times reported, "The Democratic governor of Washington State, Jay Inslee, said he had secured a large enough supply of Mifepristone pills to preserve access for women in his state through a second Trump administration. The supply is locked away at a state warehouse."

The others are the governors of California, Massachusetts, New York and Oregon."
