Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said Sunday that the Biden administration is considering ignoring an order by a federal judge in Texas halting the government’s approval of the abortion pill mifepristone.
Mr. Becerra emphasized that “everything is on the table” — including violating a court order — in the wake of U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s ruling last week that the Food and Drug Administration’s approval process of the drug two decades ago was unlawful.
“I got to believe that an appeals court, the Supreme Court or whatever court, has to understand that this ruling by this one judge overturns not just access to mifepristone but possibly any number of drugs,” Mr. Becerra said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “Everything is on the table. The president said what way back when the Dobbs decision came out. Every option is on the table.”
