Two Democratic-led states are stockpiling abortion pills following a ruling last week by a U.S. District Court judge in Texas that could halt its use across the nation.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday his state had secured about 2 million pills of misoprostol and Massachusetts stockpiled 15,000 doses of mifepristone, as the Biden administration appeals the Friday that said the Food and Drug Administration's approval of mifepristone 23 years ago was unlawful.
."We will not cave to extremists who are trying to outlaw these critical abortion services. Medication abortion remains legal in California." During a news conference on Monday, Gov. Maura Healy said"abortion will remain safe, legal, and accessible here in Massachusetts," adding that the 15,000 doses should cover about a year's supply.
