Washington state’s Attorney General Bob Ferguson. Rice’s order applies to Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Washington. Rice declined to apply his ruling nationwide.
The continued contradictory orders of various courts have escalated the issue to the Supreme Court, which weighed in twice so far:placed a five-day stay on the Fifth Circuit ruling in the mifepristone case, giving the Court until April 19 to rule in the case. : The Supreme Court blocked a previous ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit from taking effect, allowing the abortion pill mifepristone to remain on the market under current rules.
If the Fifth Circuit ruling had gone into effect, access to mifepristone would have decreased significantly across the country. Such a ruling would end telemedicine abortion, which has expanded significantly since the FDA approved it in 2021. The FDA has always tightly restricted mifepristone, despite overwhelming medical evidence that the medication is extremely safe and effective. Mifepristone, originally called RU 486, was developed in 1980 by the French pharmaceutical company Roussel Uclaf and approved for use in France in 1988. But in the United States, the Bush administration blocked approval of the medication.
