, whose far-reaching and virtually unprecedented order would have rescinded FDA approval of the pill. He gave the administration a week to appeal.
Adding to the uncertainty, a separate federal judge in Washington on Thursday clarified his own order from last week to make clear that the FDA is not to do anything that might block mifepristone’s availability in 17 Democrat-led states suing to keep it on the market.The Texas lawsuit was filed by the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative legal group that also argued to overturn Roe vs. Wade and is representing anti-abortion doctors and medical organizations.
The two judges who voted to tighten restrictions, Kurt Engelhardt and Andrew Oldham, are both appointees of former President Trump. The third judge, Catharina Haynes, is an appointee of former President George W. Bush. She said she would have put the lower court ruling on hold entirely for now to allow oral arguments in the case..
Use of medication abortion jumped significantly after the 2016 rule expansion, according to data gathered by the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion rights. In 2017, medication abortion accounted for 39% of abortions; by 2020 it had become the most common method, accounting for 53% of all abortions.When the drug was initially approved, the FDA limited its use to up to seven weeks of pregnancy.
Mifepristone has been used by millions of women over the past 23 years. While less drastic than completely overturning the drug’s approval, the latest ruling still represents a stark challenge to the FDA’s authority overseeing how prescription drugs are used in the U.S. The panel overturned multiple decisions made by FDA regulators after years of scientific review.

Supreme Court asked to preserve abortion pill access rulesA drug manufacturer is asking the Supreme Court to preserve access to its abortion pill free from restrictions imposed by lower court rulings, while a legal fight continues. New York-based Danco Laboratories filed its emergency request with the high court Friday, less than two days after an appeals court ruling that had the effect of tightening the rules under which the drug, mifepristone, can be prescribed and dispensed. The new limits would take effect Saturday unless the court acts before then. The fight over mifepristone lands at the Supreme Court less than a year after conservative justices reversed Roe v. Wade and allowed more than a dozen states to effectively ban abortion outright. 60,000,000 dead babies and counting. Why do people not care that big pharma just pushed a drug through without going through the correct phases? All for money. lol
