Favoring purely political motivations over 20 years of scientific fact, a judge in Texas ruled to block access to the leading abortion medication.
Mifepristone has been safely and effectively used by millions of women and was approved by the FDA decades ago—so this ruling sets a dangerous precedent not just for this drug but for the FDA’s ability to keep all sorts of medications available for folks who rely on them.
Last August, Kansans fought against and ultimately rejected extremist actions to limit abortion rights in our state. Now, we have to fight back again.
Mifepristone is still legal for now, but the unprecedented nature of this ruling means it can still put Kansans’ health at risk at a time when our state Supreme Court is debating whether to keep our abortion protections and our state legislature is passing more and more anti-choice bills with no chance of becoming law.
No one should be forced to let a politician or a judge make life-altering healthcare decisions for them.
