A ruling is expected to come down from a federal judge in Texas that could see an abortion medication being taken off the market in the U.S. Here's why some protesters are dresses as clowns and kangaroos amid the hearing.
If the judge rules in favor of the plaintiffs, there would be a nationwide injunction on mifepristone, affecting even states where the procedure is legal., would still be available, but it's not approved by the FDA to be used for abortions on its own.
"This is not a gag order but just a request for courtesy given the death threats and harassing phone calls and voicemails that this division has received," Kacsmaryk told attorneys in the case. "We want a fluid hearing with all parties being heard. I think less advertisement of this hearing is better."
Kacsmaryk "says he doesn't want a 'circus-like' atmosphere, all while behaving like a clown who treats our lives like a political game," the organizers of the Women's March. "So, we will bring the circus to him. Come in your clown makeup, and we will show the world what the Federal Court is all about here in Amarillo, a kangaroo court!"
