The Democratic administration and New York-based Danco Laboratories, which makes mifepristone, argued that the drug is among the safest the FDA has ever approved.The abortion opponents argued that the FDA's decisions in 2016 and 2021 to relax restrictions on getting the drug were unreasonable and "jeopardise women's health across the nation".
