Mifepristone is part of the regimen in the U.S. for medication abortions, which account for more than half of all abortions in the country
A U.S. judge in Texas is set to hear arguments on Wednesday in a bid by anti-abortion groups to ban sales of the abortion pill mifepristone across the country, even in states where abortion is legal, as they challenge regulatory approval granted more than two decades ago.
President Joe Biden’s administration, responding to the lawsuit, has said that the drug’s approval was well supported by science, and that the challenge comes much too late. The judge could rule any time after hearing arguments. Any ruling is likely to be appealed immediately to the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
By suing in Amarillo, where the Alliance had been incorporated just three months earlier, the plaintiffs ensured that the case would go before Kacsmaryk, a conservative former Christian activist appointed to the bench by Republican former President Donald Trump. His courthouse has become a favored destination for Republicans seeking to challenge aspects of Democrat Biden’s agenda.
Major medical organizations, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, have weighed in on the side of the FDA, saying mifepristone “has been thoroughly studied and is conclusively safe.”
