The Department of Justice has appealed a decision on mifepristone onto the 5th Circuit, where its future remains unclear.
Friday is the deadline set by a federal judge in Texas regarding an order that, if it's allowed to take effect, would block nationwide the use of mifepristone, commonly referred to as the abortion pill.
Multiple organizations have said though that using just one drug, misoprostol, is safe and effective too. This week, Scripps News spoke with Jen Klein, the director of President Biden's Gender Policy Counsel, who expressed optimism. In fact, some lawmakers have even suggested the Biden administration should ignore the ruling — including Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez of New York and Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace of South Carolina.
