The Future of Mifepristone: A Pending Ruling and Controversial Debate.

A Texas judge is set to rule on the FDA's approval of the abortion pill mifepristone, with a group of doctors opposing abortion seeking to nullify the approval. The judge could order the FDA to pull mifepristone from the market entirely or impose tighter restrictions on access to the drug. Abortion rights groups and legal experts expect the judge will rule against the FDA in some form. If the judge orders an immediate withdrawal of mifepristone, the Biden administration would ask him to pause the decision pending its appeal.
