Texas Judge's Ruling on Abortion Pill Sale Sparks Controversy.
TL;DR Summary
Anti-abortion groups are seeking to ban the use of mifepristone, an abortion pill approved by the FDA more than 20 years ago, in a lawsuit filed in Texas. Abortion pills are the most common form of abortion in the US, accounting for more than half of all procedures since 2020. The lawsuit alleges that the FDA's approval of mifepristone in 2000 was flawed for several reasons, including an inadequate review of the pill's safety risks. Legal experts say there is little precedent for a lone judge overruling the scientific assessment of the FDA.
