If the case succeeds, it could have sweeping repercussions — for abortion clinics and patients across the nation, as well as for the FDA's drug-approval process.

Here's a guide to what's at stake in the lawsuit:What will happen Wednesday?

The anti-abortion groups say the FDA used a flawed process to approve the medicine; they also say it should not have increased the term in which the drug is approved for use: In 2016, the agency changed its guidance allowing use in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy, up from seven weeks.it approved the drug more than 20 years ago after"a thorough and comprehensive review of the scientific evidence presented and determined that it was safe and effective for its indicated use.

Abortion is human right oxymoronic edition. But since babies can’t take care of themselves like adults can, an abortion is a more humane end. This world is full of sin and suffering.

Congress granted the FDA the authority to manage medication. It's a power claimed by the federal government. States can't intervene in that.

The same people who are mad at this are the same ones who were perfectly fine, even enthusiastic about ivermectin being labeled as a horse dewormer/not safe for human consumption then argue it should be used as abortion pill soooo get fukt

He’s already decided.

So go online & order it from 🇨🇦

It's not just 'an abortion pill'.

Abortion is human right

Let them live

The Right constantly screams about “one state deciding for the country” when it’s a Blue state like New York or California. They also touted how rescinding Roe allowed “the individual states to decide.” Their hypocrisy has become a universal constant.

This drug is already being misused to end pregnancies past FDA regulations, and it is MUCH more dangerous than a surgical abortion. Women have died and will die from its use and misuse.

Excellent. One more assault pill gone.

Q: Is suicide also 'healthcare?' It does after all end the pain.

this is dumb but i remember dems cheering during the trump admin when lone federal judges did things that set policies impacting the entire nation, so enjoy the new rules.

Healthcare doesn’t kill people.

Just another example of the weaponization of the Judiciary by anti-abortion crowd. Stripping away the freedoms and rights that women have enjoyed for the last 50 years. Where the means justify the end no matter how mean the means are.

Good. Thanks for the news.

Liberals love abortions. They would love to advertise abortions on the side of milk cartons. 'Have you had your abortion today?'

Ugh

Good! Have we tried not murdering babies? That might be nice for a change!

Texas, want to end abortion? Have babies identify as trans in the womb.

Note that he is a Trump appointed judge. It matters.
