UPDATE, 4/10/23: The Biden administration DOJ filed a notice of appeal to the Fifth Circuit the same day that Judge Kacsmaryk released his decision, and today officially filed its appeal, asking that the district court’s decision be kept on hold until the Fifth Circuit decides the case.
4/7/23: District Court Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk ruled today to overturn the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of mifepristone, the abortion drug that was approved for use in the United States in 2000. The FDA is likely to appeal the decision. Kacsmaryk gave a week for the order to take effect, giving the Biden administration that time to file an appeal.
The ruling means that mifepristone, the first drug of the abortion pill regimen, no longer has FDA approval and could result in a new FDA review of mifepristone. In anticipation of this ruling, the abortion industry has been planning to move to a misoprostol-only abortion method that carries a high failure rate.
