US appeals court upholds limits on access to abortion pill mifepristone

Al Jazeera  

The latest ruling over mifepristone’s FDA approval is likely to send the pill’s fate to the US Supreme Court. A United States appeals court has struck the latest blow in an ongoing battle over the pill mifepristone, often used in medication-induced abortions On Wednesday, the three-judge Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans overturned a lower court’s wholesale revocation of the pill’s Food and Drug Administration approval. Wednesday’s decision comes months after a Texas judge in April revoked the drug’s FDA approval, throwing in jeopardy one of the most common methods of abortion in the US. The latest ruling will likely send the case to the conservative-dominated US Supreme Court, as the administration of President Joe Biden has promised to protect access to mifepristone and defend the authority of the FDA.
