US EditionTrump to continue Biden's court defense of abortion drug mifepristone
- The Trump administration remains committed to upholding FDA regulations that facilitate the availability of the abortion medication mifepristone in ongoing litigation before Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk in Texas.
- The case began under the Biden administration after three Republican-led states sued to restrict telehealth prescriptions and in-person visit rules for mifepristone.
- The states argue access to mifepristone undermines their abortion laws in Idaho, Missouri, and Kansas, which have varied abortion restrictions and recent reproductive rights developments.
- The Supreme Court rejected an earlier challenge, ruling the plaintiffs lacked standing, and the government now urges dismissal on procedural grounds without addressing drug access merits.
- This defense suggests the administration will maintain current drug access policies despite opposition, indicating ongoing legal and political conflict over abortion medication post-Roe v. Wade.
