Today, in a major setback for abortion access since the overruling of Roe v. Wade, a federal court in Texas blocked the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of Mifepristone, one of two medications commonly used in medication abortion care in the United States. First approved more than 20 years ago, this decision, if allowed to go into effect, would make Mifepristone unavailable to patients across the country, despite its safety record. Although abortion is illegal in Texas, the court’s ruling would block Mifepristone’s use even in states with legal abortion.
