Nearly 150 Republican lawmakers are urging the Supreme Court to allow lower court rulings imposing restrictions on a widely used abortion pill to take effect.
"[T]he FDA’s actions have contravened" federal law, the lawmakers argue, adding that the agency exceeded "the scope of its authorized power from Congress" when it approved mifepristone.
They also take aim at the FDA's reduction of the drug's restrictions, such as allowing for the use of telemedicine to provide the pill. The lawmakers said on a footnote that their brief is focused on the actions the FDA took on mifepristone from 2016 onwards instead of the full approval of the drug because the anti-abortion groups in the case have not asked the Supreme Court to halt the drug's overall authorization.
