A Texas Judge Just Suspended Approval Of A Common Abortion Drug | FiveThirtyEight

A federal judge just suspended the FDA’s approval of mifepristone, one of the most widely used medication abortion drugs. Not just in states where abortion is illegal — anywhere in the United States. The ruling will go into effect in seven days, giving the government a short window of time to appeal. Unless a higher court lifts the injunction, the ruling in Texas will dramatically alter abortion access in the U.S. for the foreseeable future. #abortion #politics #texas Website: http://fivethirtyeight.com/ Merch: http://fivethirtyeight.com/store Twitter: http://twitter.com/fivethirtyeight/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fivethirtyeight/ Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/fivethirtyeight-politics/id1077418457?mt=2
