Supreme Court’s abortion pill ruling puts new focus on conservative Trump judge in Texas

The Supreme Court’s decision this week rebuffing an effort to restrict access to mifepristone is unlikely to be the final word on the abortion pill – and the next person to speak will almost certainly be a Trump-appointed judge in Texas at the center of the controversy. US District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk will have to decide later this summer if three conservative states that want to continue the fight against the drug can do so in his court.

Kacsmaryk’s decision on mifepristone was later narrowed by a federal appeals court to deal only with the subsequent steps the FDA took to make mifepristone easier to obtain. As the administration’s appeal of Kacsmaryk’s abortion ruling played out at the Supreme Court, the trial judge granted the three states’ bid to intervene in the legal challenge in his court.
