Anti-abortion groups urge US Supreme Court to restrict abortion pill

The challengers urged the Supreme Court to reject emergency requests by Democratic President Joe Biden's administration and the pill's manufacturer to halt the Apr 7 preliminary injunction issued by US District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk in Amarillo that would greatly limit mifepristone's distribution, while litigation proceeds.

The FDA and Danco Laboratories have for years disregarded"holes and red flags" in their safety data,"demonstrating callous disregard for women's well-being, unborn life, and statutory limits", they added. Mifepristone is taken with another drug called misoprostol to perform medication abortion, which now accounts for more than half of all US abortions.

In a case that could undercut federal regulatory authority over drug safety, the administration and Danco on Friday said that mifepristone might not be available for months if the restrictions are allowed to take effect.
