The White House is planning to re-up discussions with abortion pill manufacturers and US pharmacy chains on ways to push back against efforts to ban mifepristone.
WASHINGTON - The White House is planning to re-up discussions with abortion pill manufacturers and U.S. pharmacy chains on ways to push back against efforts to ban mifepristone, two sources with knowledge of the matter said, as it appeals a Texas court ruling suspending the approval of the drug.
"We are discussing ways to offer them legal support," one of the sources said of manufacturers and retail pharmacies. Major U.S. manufacturers of abortion pills include GenBioPro Inc and Danco Laboratories. Pharmacy chains dispensing such pills include Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc , CVS Health Corp and Rite Aid Corp.
Any potential future conversations will not include decisions that impact"how the FDA will operate or is operating," the official said. The administration believes that the Washington ruling gives it more time to respond legally to Texas's final decision. It could"expedite review of Texas, encourage an immediate stay on it and puts a huge question mark over it," one of the sources said.
