A federal judge in Texas will hear arguments Wednesday in a closely watched dispute that could halt distribution of a key drug used for medication abortion and disrupt access nationwide, even in states where reproductive rights are protected.

the challengers' request for the court to withdraw approval of mifepristone is"extraordinary and unprecedented." Administration lawyers said they have been unable to find any case where a court has"second-guessed FDA's safety and efficacy determination and ordered a widely available FDA-approved drug to be removed from the market — much less an example that includes a two-decade delay.

The Biden administration argued that serious adverse events associated with mifepristone are rare and said the claims raised by the medical associations are speculative. Patients, they said, would be harmed by a court order rescinding mifepristone's approval. The Justice Department further warned that halting access to mifepristone would threaten the capacity of state healthcare systems, as it would lead more patients to seek surgical abortions at clinics already under stress from patients traveling from states with restrictive abortion laws to seek care.

A coalition of 22 red states that have tightened abortion restrictions after the Supreme Court reversed Roe are siding with the anti-abortion rights associations and accused the FDA of contravening federal law.

Because all the work of thousands of people over decades should come down to one white male in Texas

Ernestro, a heart medicine being sold on TV, clearly states in the commercial that one dose will kill an unborn child. want an abortion? see a heart specialist about getting a bonus from that drug company for prescribing it to you. $$$ is all doctors care about, line pockets.

He should not have this power. EVER. And we know what his decision will be.

Why are people's rights being infringed?

CNN remember when you were race baiting the Duke lacrosse case. Democrat DA Mike Nifong in 2006 fabricated the evidence to convict 3 white men of raping a black woman because he wanted to win election of black voters. Woke religion=climate change, sacrament=abortion Guess he is trying to get shelter for his family first.

What the Texas judge said in delaying notice of abortion-pill hearingJudge Matthew Kacsmaryk took the unusual step of intentionally delaying public notice of the hearing planned for Wednesday morning in Amarillo, Tex. GRRRRRRRRRRRR 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 The Texas judge appointed by Trump will use religion in his decision, not the constitution or any law. Note that this lawsuit doesn’t apply to any other drug! He is going to impose his religious beliefs on women, no matter how cruel it is, and make women suffer, and possibly die.
