JUST IN: Massachusetts has begun stockpiling the abortion drug mifepristone ahead of a court-ordered injunction that could pull the drug from the market as early as Friday, Gov. Healey announces.

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey spoke to AIM, the Associated Industries of Massachusetts at a Marriott hotel, Jan. 26, 2023, in Newton, Mass.Massachusetts Gov.

Under the governor's plan, Healy said the University of Massachusetts Amherst has already purchased 15,000 doses -- more than a year's worth of mifepristone for the state. And, another $1 million from state coffers would be offered to health care providers in the state to buy the drug before a nationwide injunction goes into effect.

The governor also said she will sign an executive order noting that existing state law protect pharmacists and providers from criminal and civil legal liability if they continue to stock and dispense the drug. "Here in Massachusetts, we are not going to let one extremist judge in Texas turn back the clock on this proven medication and restrict access to care in our state," Healey said in a statement released Monday. "The action we are taking today protects access to mifepristone in Massachusetts and protects patients, providers and pharmacists from liability."

Massachusetts Governor-elect Maura Healey goes over her speech inside the Governors Council Chamber before the Inauguration, Jan. 5,2023, in Boston.
