A group of 10 scientists is suing the publisher that retracted their studies showing the health risks associated with abortion drugs.

The suit against Sage Publications, filed on Oct. 3 in the Superior Court for Ventura County, California, alleges that the researchers’ studies were retracted simply because of the scientists’ pro-life views.

At the center of the lawsuit are three studies that Sage published in the scientific journal Health Services Research and Managerial Epidemiology (HSRME) in 2019, 2021, and 2022.

One of the articles was cited heavily in the recent Supreme Court case AHM v. FDA in which a coalition of doctors from the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine and several other groups sought to compel the FDA to revoke its approval of the abortion drug mifepristone because of its associated dangers to women’s health and well-being.

This article states that the reason the study was retracted was because the conclusions were misleading based on the available data in the study.

The article says that.

I'm sorry it's about abortion, but do we really need to die on THIS hill ?

A peer review of the study says it's faulty. If it wasn't faulty, you'd think the scientists would have a response for the questions about the study.

They don't, they're response was to sue.

This isn't a good look in the world of scientific research. I'm inclined to dismiss the study.
