Jun 12, 2022 – La’Tasha D. Mayes, a local reproductive rights activist, will be the first Black lesbian woman elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. She’ll join a handful of openly gay members, including state Rep. Jessica Benham, D-Carrick, who was the state’s first bisexual woman elected to the House.

That is just a guess, as the FDA itself doesn’t even know. And while estimates are that over 80 percent of API may come from foreign nations, in the case of many antibiotics and drugs that treat high blood pressure, China is the sole source of API.
