A hearing in Spokane place took place Tuesday as a judge in Texas is expected to rule in another case that threatens to pull the abortion pill from the market.
"By the time we filed our complaint, we were obviously very much aware of what's going on in Texas. That's just the legal world we're living in," said Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson, who is leading the lawsuit seeking to keep mifepristone on the market and expand access to the medication.
Ferguson said the case in Washington state is asking the judge to expand and protect mifepristone access, specifically in the 17 states and D.C. that are parties to the lawsuit. In the case of Texas, medical associations that oppose abortion are asking the judge to pull the abortion pill from the U.S. market nationwide.
"You could have a situation where in some states it's not available and in some states it is available. Any of those things are possible. A lot though depends on how these judges write these rulings," Ferguson said.
