Mifepristone has become the central flashpoint in the legal battle over abortion since the Supreme Court last summer overturned Roe v. Wade.
The case will now be heard in the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. The appeals court has scheduled oral arguments for Wednesday, May 17 at 1 pm CT.
Mifepristone has become the central flashpoint in the legal battle over abortion since the Supreme Court last summer overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that guaranteed abortion as a constitutional right nationwide. Days later, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals blocked part of Kacsmaryk's order and allowed the brand name version of the drug, Mifeprex, to remain on the market. But the appeals court judges imposed restrictions on the medication that would severely limit access.
