Governors stockpile abortion drugs as access threatened.

Democratic governors in the US have ordered stockpiles of medication abortion drugs after a Texas judge's ruling threatened access to the widely used abortion drug mifepristone. The FDA approved mifepristone to terminate pregnancy in 2000, when used with misoprostol. More than half of abortions in the US rely on medication abortion, and most of those involve the two-drug protocol. If the appeals court doesn’t intervene, the Texas ruling would take effect on Friday with far-reaching implications for access.
