statement on 5th circuit decision on mifepristone
the u.s. court of appeals for the 5th circuit has overturned judge kascmaryk’s biased and unsound decision to suspend mifepristone’s approval while an appeal is heard, but has insisted that harmful, outdated, medically unnecessary requirements be reinstated. the case against mifepristone is groundless, and was fabricated as part of the anti-abortion movement’s efforts to end legal abortion everywhere in this country. mifepristone is part of a safe and effective regimen for abortion care, and has been safely used by millions since it was approved over 20 years ago.
