Nebraska leads 23-state coalition asking Supreme Court to uphold Mifepristone stay
Nebraska says the FDA’s 2023 rule lets out-of-state doctors ship mifepristone into the state, bypassing local abortion drug regulations.
- On Thursday, Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers filed an amicus brief on behalf of 23 states asking the Supreme Court to maintain a lower court's stay of federal regulations that removed in-person dispensing requirements for Mifepristone.
- Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill previously challenged the Food and Drug Administration's rule, arguing it relied on flawed data; the Fifth Circuit unanimously agreed the regulation was unlawful.
- According to Hilgers, the stayed rule has "the practical effect" of allowing non-Nebraska doctors to prescribe Mifepristone to patients and ship that drug across state lines to Nebraska women.
- Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman joined the brief, asserting the "Biden Administration" created "the floodgates for mail order abortion pills" in violation of Kentucky's House Bill 3.
- If the Supreme Court upholds the stay, Mifepristone remains available to patients who comply with state regulatory requirements, reflecting Hilgers' hope that justices will recognize states' authority to protect their citizens.
