A Texas judge's abortion pill ruling was 'extraordinary' because it let doctors ban a drug they neither use nor prescribe, the DOJ said in a bid to reverse the decision
when taken as directed. He instead cited what he described as"one study" that purportedly found 14% of those who took the drug reported they had"received insufficient information" about its side effects, including"potential negative emotional reactions like fear, uncertainty, sadness, regret, and pain.
The study was also a product of the anti-abortion movement. Its coauthor was listed as a staff researcher at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, a group based in Arlington, Virginia, that"advises and leads the pro-life movement," according to its website. The study's acknowledgments section begins by thanking the institute's president, among others, for providing"support and assistance throughout the entire research process.
In calling for a stay on the Texas decision, Justice Department lawyers argued there is no reason for the ruling to take immediate effect and"upend a decades-long status quo and inflict grave harm on women, the medical system, and the public." Responding to the government's filing, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, Erin Hawley, issued a statement saying the Texas court correctly decided the case."The FDA put women in harm's way, and the agency should be held accountable for its reckless actions," she wrote.Sign up for notifications from Insider!
