We should be able to trust our courts to respect science and follow the law.

After a Texas judge blocked the FDA's approval of mifepristone, one of two drugs used effectively in medication abortion, an appeals court decided that while the court cannot ban mifepristone, they can restrict access. The appeals court decided to reinstate medically unnecessary restrictions, adding additional barriers to getting quality reproductive care, which will disproportionately impact our most underserved and marginalized communities.

We are extremely disappointed that the court continues to put politics over people and this decision shows that judicial rulings are not necessarily rooted in law or based on facts.

This attack on medication abortion is not about a question of safety or medical risk; it is about extremist anti-abortion advocates continuing to attempt to limit access and restrict reproductive rights. They didn't stop with Roe v. Wade, and they won't stop with mifepristone.

The judiciary must hear us loud and clear: The unprecedented attack on mifepristone is a gross injustice that could harm millions of people.
