BREAKING: Texas judge suspends FDA approval of major abortion pill
U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk ruled that the agency's decades-old approval of mifepristone, the first of two abortion-inducing drugs used to terminate a pregnancy through 10 weeks, should be suspended. The ruling gives the Biden administration a week to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit.
The FDA has repeatedly said that the abortion medication is a safe and effective alternative to surgical abortions. The American Medical Association, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and other medical associations have said in a court filing that reversing mifepristone's approval would"cause profound and irreparable harm to patients across the country.
