while rolling back a number of moves by the Food and Drug Administration that expanded availability of the drug.
"The Justice Department strongly disagrees with the Fifth Circuit's decision in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA to deny in part our request for a stay pending appeal," Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement."We will be seeking emergency relief from the Supreme Court to defend the FDA's scientific judgment and protect Americans' access to safe and effective reproductive care.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit late Wednesday halted a lower court judge's decision that blocked the FDA's 2000 approval of the abortion pill mifepristone. But it left in place part of the judge's order that put on hold changes made by the FDA beginning in 2016, which eased the rules for prescribing and dispensing mifepristone.
Those actions by the FDA extended the time during a pregnancy when the drug can be used from seven weeks to 10 weeks and allowed it to be dispensed by mail.
The DOJ needs to read and come to understand the Tenth Amendment.
Nope!!!
DOJ is so political left!!! Litigation means FDA not always right & now women will be closely supervised by Docs when taking pill.
Can’t count on SCOTUS to rule with the right decision. They’ll fuck this up too.
76% of abortions are of black children. Keep it legal!!! Thanks Democrats! 😁

Senate Dems want Justice Department probe on 'Tennessee Three'Sens. Chuck Schumer and Raphael Warnock are asking the DOJ to investigate whether the Tennessee Legislature's expulsion of two Black lawmakers violated civil rights law or the Constitution. Rep. Steven Horsford also requested one last week. Shocking how a standard application of the law becomes a civil rights inquiry, and Axios is there to uncritically take the Democrats side. I'm glad there are other sources of news. Lol so weird how this wasn't an issue when dems did it to a republican in Oregon in 2020. i guess when the only tool you have is a hammer right?
