that suspended the FDA’s 2000 approval of the commonly used abortion drug mifepristone. But the three-judge panel approved part of the Trump judge’s ruling against more recent FDA actions starting in 2016 that improved access to the drug by, among other things, allowing people to receive it by mail and allowing the drug to be dispensed through 10 weeks instead of seven.
The 5th Circuit panel said it appeared the statute of limitations blocked anti-abortion plaintiffs — who brought the case to U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk in Texas — from challenging the 2000 approval, but that the plaintiffs could challenge FDA actions starting in 2016. The panel split 2-1, with two Trump appointees in the majority and a George W. Bush appointee in dissent, saying she would have temporarily blocked Kacsmaryk’s ruling in full while litigation continues.
The federal government and the drug’s manufacturer, Danco, appealed Kacsmaryk’s April 8 order. A longtime abortion opponent — that’s why the plaintiffs brought the case to him — Kacsmaryk’s opinion purporting to halt the long-used drug’s approval relied on shoddy data, anti-abortion rhetoric and dubious legal reasoning, some of which the 5th Circuit panel on Wednesday appeared to endorse.
The precise impact of Kacsmaryk’s order is unclear at the moment. On the same day that he entered his order, a federal judge in Washington statein another case that blocks the FDA from altering the status quo on mifepristone’s availability. Those conflicting rulings could make Supreme Court resolution of the issue even more likely, where the GOP majority that overturned Roe v. Wade last year would get final say on the matter.
I think we already know what’s gonna happen next.
Liberals want to have abortions so they can eat the fetuses. It’s so disgusting. They think it will help them live longer.
So what is SCOTUS opinion worth theses days. Absolutely Nothing ! Just a Trump Rubber Stamp
Extreme and Trump in the same smearing sentence. Classic TDS.
Why not just legislate a solution?
Abortion is murder, no matter how you sugar coat it
Part of it. Severe restitutions remain. Just once be real journalists.
Partially blocked? Give me a break! Mifepristone is safe and effective. Leave it alone
Democrats are obsessed with killing children.
Jewish supremacy is a problem
JEWS are terrorists JEWS are terrorists JEWS are terrorists
There’s is three things MSNDC likes abortion sex and race that’s the only fake news propaganda they push non stop
This action by 5th Circuit would still roll back mifepristone access, favor ideology & pseudoscience over facts, harm patients, & establish dangerous precedent of judges without scientific training overriding FDA expertise. My thread on our amicus brief:
Just let it go to the supreme court. We have a process that works.
