The future of America’s most-used abortion pill hangs in the balance after a Texas verdict. What the court decision means for nationwide access to abortions – and what’s next.
It is a verdict with the potential for a political earthquake. In Texas, a federal judge has canceled the country’s most widely used abortion pill, mifepristone. Arch-conservative Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk on Friday upheld an anti-abortion lawsuit against the FDA, which approved the drug more than 20 years ago. Sharp criticism came from abortion organizations and the US government, which announced that it would appeal immediately.
