Abortion opponents urged a US appeals court to allow the suspension of Food and Drug Administration's approval of the abortion pill mifepristone, in a case with potentially far-reaching impact on how the government regulates medicine

In a filing with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, lawyers for groups and doctors who oppose abortion and challenged the FDA's more than two decade-old approval of the drug said a government request to stay the suspension was "extraordinary and unprecedented" and should be denied.to put U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk's April 7 order voiding the FDA's approval on hold through the appeals process.

Mifepristone is the first pill in a two-drug regimen for medication abortions used in more than half of all U.S. abortions. Several states have announced plans to stockpile mifepristone or the other drug, misoprostol. "If courts can overturn drug approvals without regard for science or evidence, or for the complexity required to fully vet the safety and efficacy of new drugs, any medicine is at risk for the same outcome as mifepristone," they said.

Abortion pill rulings in conflict: What happens next?The Biden administration on Monday asked a federal appeals court to allow women to continue to be able to access to the most commonly used abortion drug in the U.S. while a lawsuit over it plays out. The drug, mifepristone, was approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration more than two decades ago. But on Friday a federal judge in Texas blocked the FDA’s approval of the drug following a lawsuit by the pill’s opponents. The far-reaching ruling, which the judge put on hold for a week to allow for an appeal, could affect access to the drug in every state. You ignore the unelected judge's ruling by decree and keep giving out pills. Old enough to remember when the GOP didn’t want the government in the doctors office with you. My how times have changed. it’s THIS and not Opioids that has murdered and continues to murder, millions upon millions while simultaneously destroying families and futures but yea…ok…women…sure…lmao
