Last Friday, a federal district court in Texas issued a ruling blocking the approval of mifepristone – one of two drugs used in more than half of the abortions in this country today.

This unprecedented ruling comes 23 years after the FDA approved mifepristone. During that time, it has been used by millions of people in the United States alone for safe and effective early abortion and miscarriage care.

We must speak out loud and resolutely against this harmful decision now: Urge the courts to reverse this decision and dismiss this case immediately.

ACLU Supporter, let's be clear about who was involved in Friday's decision: The case was brought by extreme anti-abortion groups to a hand-selected judge, Matthew Kacsmaryk. It is part of a larger campaign to ban abortion entirely nationwide, even in states that have legal protections for abortion access.

And let's also be clear about who this decision hurts most: Removing approval of mifepristone will severely compromise abortion access for patients by straining clinics and providers across the nation who are already grappling with the effects of Roe v. Wade being overturned and abortion banned in more than a dozen states.

The impact will be felt disproportionately by people who already face severe health disparities and barriers to accessing health care – that includes people of color, people struggling to make ends meet, young people, and people living in rural areas.

If our opponents think they can just steamroll medical ethics and jeopardize patients' health and safety with ideological extremism – they should think again. We at the ACLU are using every tool at our disposal right now to fight back, and we will not stop until everyone can access the essential reproductive health care they need.

That's why we're immediately calling on the courts to reverse this ruling and uphold the law. Please join us in this fight by adding your name to our urgent petition today.
