A temporary stay was extended until Friday in a case that will determine whether an abortion pill can stay on the market. MORE ⬇️
The countdown is on for the Supreme Court as it faces a midnight deadline to make a key ruling on an abortion pill.
But the stay is due to expire at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, April 21, 2023, meaning there will be some restrictions on the pill if the court takes no action. Prior to the Appeals Court ruling, District Court Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk blocked the FDA’s approval of mifepristone. The approval was called into question in a lawsuit by an anti-abortion rights group. It claims that the FDA rushed the drug’s approval more than two decades ago and that it poses health risks to those who use it.
Since its approval by the FDA in 2000, mifepristone, along with another drug, misoprostol, has been used by more than 5 million women to induce abortions.Reactions to the delay came swiftly — from lawmakers, from the White House and from health experts.
