An injunction from U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk could halt distribution of the abortion pill nationwide.
that could halt distribution of a key drug used for medication abortion and disrupt access nationwide, even in states where reproductive rights are protected.was brought in November by a conservative legal organization on behalf of anti-abortion rights medical associations and targets the Food and Drug Administration's decades-old approval of the drug mifepristone, one of two medications used to terminate an early pregnancy.
While questioning Baptist, Kacsmaryk asked for an example of a court intervening — as he is being asked to do — so long after the FDA has approved a drug, according to the AP. Boxes of the drug mifepristone sit on a shelf at the West Alabama Women's Center in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on March 16, 2022.In papers filed with the court, the anti-abortion rights groups claimed the FDA exceeded its regulatory authority to approve mifepristone and has over the years removed safeguards by changing the dosage and route of administration in 2016, and lifting an in-person dispensing requirement to allow the pills to be mailed in 2021.
The Biden administration argued that serious adverse events associated with mifepristone are rare and said the claims raised by the medical associations are speculative. Patients, they said, would be harmed by a court order rescinding mifepristone's approval. "This would lead to delays for an array of healthcare services as providers and resources are unnecessarily diverted to surgical abortions," they said.
