Mifepristone Is Under Legal Threat. The Other Abortion Pill Could Be Next
The abortion pill mifepristone has been on uncertain legal ground ever since a Texas judge ruled that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s approval more than two decades ago should be suspended. After the Department of Justice appealed the decision and requested that the Supreme Court step in, the high court decided that mifepristone should remain available while courts continue to decide its legal fate in a potentially lengthy appeals process.
With one abortion pill in legal limbo, experts are now worried about possible threats to the other one: misoprostol. The drug is FDA approved to treat ulcers and, whe...

What Happens Next in the Fight Over Abortion Pills
Now that a Texas judge has ruled that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s approval of the abortion pill, mifepristone, is suspended, what happens to the supply of the drug?
The judge gave the Department of Justice (DOJ), which represents the FDA, until Apr. 14 to file an appeal before the suspension of the drug takes place. Both the DOJ and the drug’s maker, Danco, have filed appeals asking the Fifth Circuit Court to issue a stay on removing the drug’s approval.
Making things more complicated, soon after the Texas judge’s ruling, a district court judge in Washington issued an opposing deci...

How the Abortion Pill Ruling Could Limit the FDA ’ s Authority
When a Texas district judge ruled on Apr. 7 that mifepristone, a drug for inducing abortion, should have its approval suspended—decades after it was granted—the decision didn’t just threaten abortion access. It raised deeper questions about the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s authority and the separation of its regulatory powers from judicial oversight.
“The fact that there is judicial second-guessing of the FDA’s expertise is frightening,” says Ilisa Bernstein, interim CEO of the American Pharmacists Association and a former FDA official who worked at the agency for more...

Here ’ s What the 1870s Comstock Act Has to Do With Abortion Pills
WASHINGTON — A 19th century “anti-vice” law is at the center of a new court ruling that threatens access to the leading abortion drug in the U.S.
Dormant for a half-century, the Comstock Act has been revived by anti-abortion groups and conservative states seeking to block the mailing of mifepristone, the pill used in more than half of U.S. abortions.
On Friday, a federal judge in Texas sided with Christian conservatives in ruling that the Comstock Act prohibits sending the long-used drug through the mail.
Here’s at look at the case and the law:
