State officials take action to protect abortion access amidst legal disputes.

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has announced that the state has begun stockpiling the abortion drug mifepristone ahead of a court-ordered injunction that could pull the drug from the market as early as Friday. The move follows a ruling from a Trump-appointed federal judge in Texas that would suspend the FDA's approval of mifepristone, the only drug specifically approved to end early pregnancies up to 10 weeks. The Biden administration is expected to appeal the ruling, and Massachusetts and Washington have both purchased bulk supplies of the drug to ensure continued access for patients.
