Federal Judge's Ruling on Abortion Pill Sparks Controversy and Calls for Action from AOC and Biden Administration.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called on President Joe Biden’s administration to ignore a ruling from a federal judge in Texas that suspended the approval of a common abortion pill, mifepristone. It’s unclear whether the Biden administration would go to such lengths and ignore the ruling, given the Department of Justice already filed an appeal and a judge in Washington issued a contradictory ruling. The possibility of ignoring the decision does exist, according to Jessica Waters, professor of reproductive rights law at American University.
