The decision by a federal judge to revoke the FDA's approval of mifepristone has sparked reactions from many leaders nationwide.
U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a Trump appointee, ruled to suspend the pregnancy-ending drug. "I want to be very clear: Regardless of today's ruling, abortion access and care is still available in New York. For anyone who needs care, our state will welcome you with open arms," she stated. "Additionally, we are working with the federal government, governors, and partners across the country on solutions to prevent further infringement on care.
Mayor Eric Adams described the decision as "cruel and inhumane," and insisted that "our administration will fight every day to stop efforts to control women's bodies, their choices, and their freedoms."
