A federal judge in Texas could issue a decision as soon as Friday that could result in an abortion medication involved in roughly half of abortions nationwide being pulled from the market, at least temporarily.

medication involved in roughly half of abortions nationwide being pulled from the market, at least temporarily.filed by anti-abortion groups seeking to reverse the Food and Drug Administration's approval of mifepristone, the first of two abortion-inducing drugs used to terminate a pregnancy through 10 weeks.

Several medical associations, including the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, as well as four doctors, are arguing in the lawsuit that the FDA went beyond its regulatory authority in approving mifepristone in 2000.

Legal experts said there is little precedent for what the plaintiffs are asking for, and the immediate effects on the availability of mifepristone would hinge on the substance of the judge's decision.
