In a lawsuit that could impact abortion access nationwide, a North Carolina doctor asked a federal district court to strike down the state's restrictions on the abortion drug mifepristone.

The complaint filed by Dr. Amy Bryant argues that North Carolina's restrictions on the abortion pill are at odds with, the federal agency tasked by law to determine drug access and safety.

Earlier this month, the FDA expanded the rules to allow for retail pharmacies to dispense the drug for the first time, so long as they follow certain rules. Some pharmacy chains like Walgreens and CVS say they plan to join the program but are continuing to sort through the details. In a statement to ABC News, Bryant said she filed her lawsuit because there's "no medical reason for politicians to interfere or restrict access" to the drug.

Advocates in favor of abortion rights are hopeful that this kind of "federal preemption" case will test a new legal strategy that could be applied in other states.

Putting Auntie at the bottom of the story huh? BLM is a terrorist organization and that thug with an extensive criminal record should have complied. For gods sake drugs are not a capital crime. This BS has to end. I wonder what Mr. Williams' doctor told him about avoiding stress to his heart? Because stressful situations and heart patients do not mix well. It would appear that Mr. Williams hurt himself?
