US EditionUS abortion opponents want Trump's FDA to act on abortion pill restrictions
Louisiana officials want the FDA to curb telehealth access to mifepristone as the agency reviews safety data and considers new prescribing rules.
- On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge David Joseph declined to block telehealth access to mifepristone in a lawsuit brought by Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, though he ordered the Food and Drug Administration to report on its safety review within six months.
- Murrill contends that online prescription access undermines abortion bans in 13 states, prompting anti-abortion groups to push the FDA to restrict telehealth prescribing and restore state-level restrictions.
- The FDA said Wednesday it is reviewing mifepristone safety, including data integrity and peer-review processes, while acknowledging the study could take a year or more but stating officials are attempting to move faster.
- Frustration has flared among anti-abortion activists, with Kristi Hamrick of Students for Life of America calling the administration's pace "beyond frustrating," while Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confirmed the president requested a safety review.
- Since the 2022 Supreme Court ruling, abortion has appeared on the ballot in 17 states, with voters supporting abortion rights in 14 of those instances; experts suggest this indicates a public consensus that does not favor a total ban.
