From the Tribune Editorial Board: 'When the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade last year, freeing states to limit or ban abortion, we knew abortion pills would become a target.'
People gather in front of the J. Marvin Jones Federal Building and Mary Lou Robinson U.S. Courthouse to protest a lawsuit to ban the abortion drug mifepristone on Feb. 11, 2023, in Amarillo, Texas.
This unsettled time in the law poses big risks for the rights of individuals and businesses. In their zeal to end abortion, its opponents could undermine the federal government’s ability to regulate commerce, ensure food and drugs are safe and maintain privacy on the internet.
In this case, an anti-abortion group is asking Kacsmaryk to overturn the Food and Drug Administration’s approval in 2000 of mifepristone for medication-induced abortion, claiming the FDA improperly fast-tracked its review more than two decades ago. On Feb. 13, 22 Republican state attorneys general filed a brief urging Kacsmaryk to find against the FDA, which would likely result in a national ban on the drug, at least until higher courts could adjudicate further.
