PUBLISHED 6:24 PM EDT Apr. 24, 2023TEXAS — Abortion rights supporters in Texas have suffered one defeat after another in recent years. But they are feeling a sense of relief after the U.S. Supreme Court's decision Friday to suspend, for now, a ruling by a Texas judge that blocked access to the most commonly used abortion medication drug: mifepristone. Abortion rights supporters in Texas have suffered one defeat after another in recent years, but they are cheering the U.S.
Rep. Lizzie Fletcher, D-Texas, says she'll continue to defend the FDA's scientific judgment, introducing legislation to reaffirm that "We also see the laws every day affect patients who have lethal anomalies, you know, a very desired pregnancy, and a fetus is diagnosed with something that's incompatible with life," said Tatum. "And we see patients, you know, asking us, you know, is there anything that we can do? But in the state of Texas, ultimately, if it's not an immediate risk to mom's life, you know, we can't do anything.
In a decision late Friday, the Supreme Court granted a request from the Biden administration and the maker of mifepristone to pause a Texas judge's ruling to suspend the Food and Drug Administration's 23-year-old approval of the drug. "When a court looks at the totality of the facts and the law in this case, they're going to see how egregious the FDA has conducted itself over the course of the last few decades," Baptist told Spectrum News. "The FDA had to characterize pregnancy as an illness, argue that these drugs provide a meaningful therapeutic benefit, neither of which are true."
"What happens if you go through all the trials, you get a drug approved, and 20 years later, something comes along, some, you know judge or party comes along and undoes the process this way? So there's a lot of concern there," said Fletcher.
