The US Supreme Court blocked new restrictions set by lower courts on a widely used abortion pill…
the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that had legalized the procedure nationwide. Alito authored that ruling.
The Food and Drug Administration , the US agency that signs off on the safety of food products, drugs and medical devices, approved Mifepristone in 2000. The challengers contend that the FDA illegally approved Mifepristone and then removed critical safeguards on what they call a dangerous drug. Erik Baptist, an attorney for the conservative religious rights group Alliance Defending Freedom representing the pill’s challengers, said, “Our case seeking to put women’s health above politics continues on an expedited basis in the lower courts.”“I continue to stand by FDA’s evidence-based approval of Mifepristone, and my administration will continue to defend FDA’s independent, expert authority to review, approve and regulate a wide range of prescription drugs,” Biden said.
