Biden administration faces opposition from Dem AGs on abortion pill restrictions.
Democratic attorneys general are challenging the FDA's restrictions on mifepristone, a drug used to end pregnancies during the first 10 weeks, arguing that the requirements place an undue burden on patients and providers. The Biden administration is defending the restrictions, including a certification process for anyone prescribing the drug, while also opposing a GOP-led effort to ban the drug nationwide. The case could eliminate restrictions in those states, broadening access to the drug for tens of millions of people. The potential for clashing federal court decisions could push the issue to the U.S. Supreme Court.
