Controversy Surrounds Texas Abortion Pill Ban

A Texas ruling against the FDA's approval of mifepristone, a pill used for abortion up to 10 weeks of pregnancy, could have major implications for abortion access throughout the country. The ruling invalidates the FDA's 23-year-old approval of the drug, and could have a far-reaching impact on abortion nationwide. The Biden administration plans to challenge the ruling, and higher courts will likely step in to settle the case after a separate ruling from another case upheld access to the pill in certain states. The case will likely go to the Supreme Court, which might weigh in on a case with such major implications for abortion rights after Roe was overturned.
