One of the most extreme, anti-abortion federal judges put on the bench by Donald Trump has issued his long awaited ruling to revoke the FDA’s approval of mifepristone, used in medication abortions nationwide.
A lawsuit in Texas filed by anti-abortion groups and doctors—and represented by a coalition designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center—is designed to outlaw this popular and safe form of medication abortion in all 50 states.
64.5 million women would lose access to abortion care if Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk's injunction to halt the sale and distribution of mifepristone is upheld nationwide.
Will you help NOW as we fight to save medication abortion? The time is NOW!
An appeal will go to the activist 5th Circuit Court of Appeals—the most ideologically conservative appeals court in the country—and the same court that allowed Texas SB 8 to go into effect before the Supreme Court ruled on Dobbs!
With a safety record of over 99%, medication abortion care is safer than Tylenol. But the politicians who want to hold on to power over women’s bodies, health and future now want to keep women from accessing abortion and miscarriage care through safe, effective medication in a doctor’s office, clinic—or their own home.
