While Friday’s rulings are not directly related to West Virginia’s lawsuit, GenBioPro, the maker of Mifepristone, reacted to the legal wrangling and announced it is reviewing both federal court orders.

The contradicting orders that came down Friday marked the most high-pitched legal battle over abortion access since the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade last year.

A Republican-appointed federal judge in Texas issued an order suspending the US government’s decades-old approval of a key drug used in medication abortion, initiating a process that could block access to the pill nationwide in a week.

A Texas judge's ruling is set to impact tens of millions of women nationwide.

Full access to mifepristone will remain as legal challenges continue.
