For Star subscribers: Removal of the medications would affect more than half the abortions performed in Arizona, state data show.
Howard Fischer An Arizona-based law firm founded to defend what it says are Christian values is trying to block the most used method of abortion.
People are also reading… That is not all. The state Court of Appeals is weighing whether to allow Arizona to once again enforce its territorial-era law that bans virtually all abortions. The lawsuit's contentionsErik Baptist, the lead attorney, said President Bill Clinton, on his second full day in office in 1992, directed his cabinet to legalize chemical abortion drugs in the United States. He said Clinton then pressured a French company to donate for free the U.S. patent rights for mifepristone to the Population Council, an organization that does biomedical research and has developed birth control methods.
The FDA in 2016 expanded the permitted use of the drugs from the first seven weeks of pregnancy to 10 weeks, reducing the number of required office visits from three to one, and expanded who could prescribe the drugs beyond medical doctors, he said. But Cathi Herrod, president of the anti-abortion Center for Arizona Policy, which helped craft the state legislation, acknowledged to Capitol Media Services that blocking the drugs from being sent into Arizona from a pharmacy in another state, or another country, where abortion remains legal could be logistically difficult.
More than half of Arizona abortionsThis lawsuit is about more than mifepristone, also known as RU-486, which is designed to terminate the pregnancy.So the FDA added a second drug to the regimen — misoprostal — to induce contractions to expel the fetus from the womb. Baptist wants the judge to order the FDA to withdraw it approval for that drug, too.
"But both abortion by the pill and abortion by surgery are incredibly safe procedures done in an out-patient environment,'' she said.
