ACLU sues FDA over restrictions on abortion pill
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against Trump’s Food and Drug Administration for restrictions placed on a key abortion drug.
The restrictions place limits on where the pill, Mifeprex, can be obtained, prohibiting retail pharmacies from carrying the drug and forcing patients who need it to travel to a hospital or facility that has preregistered with the drug’s manufacturer.
“The FDA’s unique restrictions on medication abortion are not grounded in science — this is just abortion stigma made law,” Julia Kaye, a staff attorney with the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project, told the Hill.
The ACLU says the rules violate Supreme Court precedent that says access to abortion services cannot be restricted without a valid medical justification.
