Heritage Experts: Court Ruling Rightly Checks Federal Push of Dangerous Abortion Pills
WASHINGTON—A federal judge in Texas ruled today that the Food and Drug Administration must suspend its 2000 approval of mifepristone, one of two drugs used in chemical abortions. Chemical abortions account for 50% of the nation’ abortions, and the decision’s impact on the fight to protect unborn lives is significant. Understanding the impact of such a decision, the judge has paused his order for seven days to permit the government to seek emergency relief from the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.
