Vermont's new abortion protections would keep mifepristone available even if FDA approval is later withdrawn.
Vermont's Republican Gov. Phil Scott signed abortion protection laws Wednesday that are the first in the nation to explicitly protect access to the abortion drug mifepristone.
Such services include"medication that was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for termination of a pregnancy as of January 1, 2023, regardless of the medication’s current FDA approval status," according to the bill's language. State law cannot supersede federal law under the U.S. Constitution, so it's not clear whether the law would survive legal challenges.In April the Supreme Court decided to keep the drug available on the market while a case on its legality plays out in lower court.

The Guttmacher Institute, which describes itself as a research and policy organization committed to advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights, says Vermont is the first state to protect access to medication abortion in a shield law.
