The Future of Mifepristone: Implications for Abortion Access.

Access to mifepristone, a widely used abortion medication, is in jeopardy after a pair of conflicting court rulings on Friday. A federal judge in Texas issued a preliminary injunction that undoes the FDA's approval of mifepristone nationwide beginning this Friday. Meanwhile, a competing ruling out of Washington state could limit the Texas injunction's reach. The Biden administration has appealed the Texas decision and requested an emergency stay of the injunction. Ultimately, it may be up to the Supreme Court to resolve the conflicts.
