She added that there’s no medical risk for someone with an ectopic pregnancy taking mifepristone. “It just doesn’t work,” Harrington said.In one tense moment, Elrod pressed Jessica Ellsworth, an attorney for a company that makes mifepristone, to recant the language the company used in legal filings to criticize thefrom a federal district judge in Texas that would have wiped out access to the pills nationwide.
