Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer blasted a Texas judge's decision halting FDA approval for mifepristone, an abortion pill manufactured by Danco Laboratories.
, railed against a Texas judge's decision to halt Food and Drug Administration approval of the abortion pill mifepristone, warning that it"could throw our country into chaos."
"Before Plaintiffs filed this case, FDA ignored their petitions for over sixteen years, even though the law requires an agency response within ‘180 days of receipt of the petition,’" Kacsmaryk wrote in his opinion."Plaintiffs have credibly alleged past and future harm resulting from the removal of restrictions for chemical abortion drugs."
"What could come next if some fringe radical group brings a lawsuit? Cancer drugs? Insulin? Mental health treatment?" he asked. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., who was also present on the call, added that the Texas ruling was part of an overarching Republican-led effort to capture the courts and ban abortion nationwide.
The drug was approved by the FDA in 2000. Since then, medication abortions, also called"chemical abortions," have grown in popularity and nowin the United States. More than five million women in the United States have used mifepristone to abort their pregnancies, according to the drug's manufacturer.
"The FDA never studied the safety of the drugs under the labeled conditions of use, ignored the potential impacts of the hormone-blocking regimen on the developing bodies of adolescent girls, disregarded the substantial evidence that chemical abortion drugs cause more complications than surgical abortions, and eliminated necessary safeguards for pregnant girls and women who undergo this dangerous drug regimen," according to ADF.
