Controversial Ruling on Abortion Pill Raises Questions About Science and Law.

TL;DR Summary
Medical experts have criticized the recent ruling on the Mifepristone abortion pill, stating that the use of terms like "unborn child" and "starvation" are misleading and evoke emotions that distract from the actual issue. They also refute claims that medication abortion overwhelms the medical system and that surgical abortion is statistically safer. The FDA extensively reviewed Mifepristone before approving it in 2000, and studies have shown that the psychological effects of abortion are not negative.
