White House officials warned on Wednesday that access to nearly any medication is in jeopardy.

Texas Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s decision to restrict access to the abortion pill mifepristone threatens to upend abortion access for the entire country by Friday if another court doesn’t step in. The Justice Department appealed the ruling on Monday.Vice President Kamala Harris will meet Wednesday with President Joe Biden’s Cabinet to discuss other ways the administration can respond to the latest in a string of blows to abortion access in the U.S.
Kacsmaryk’s decision would revoke the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of mifepristone, one of two drugs used in what is considered the most effective and safest way to carry out a medication abortion. There is no precedent for a lone judge to overrule the FDA’s medical decisions, and pharmaceutical executives said Monday they fear the ruling could jeopardize the approval of vaccines and other medications.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration is still trying to stifle strict new laws that more than a dozen states have imposed to outlaw abortions. The White House will roll out a proposed rule that aims to limit the information law enforcement and state officials can collect from health care providers and insurers to pursue criminal, civil or administrative investigations into women who flee their home states to seek abortions elsewhere.
