What’s next for the abortion pill mifepristone?
Updated April 10, 20233:29 PM ET

[….]

…The name-brand drug Mifeprex was first approved by the Food and Drug Administration more than 20 years ago. Since then, it has been used millions of times, and major medical groups say it has a strong safety record. A generic version was approved in 2019.

Now, the drug’s future is in jeopardy. A federal judge in Texas issued a preliminary injunction that undoes the FDA’s approval of mifepristone nationwide beginning this Friday….

[….]

As of Monday, there is no change yet to Americans’ ability to access mifepristone.

But that could change as soon as this Friday, when the preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk is set to take effect.

Kacsmaryk, a Trump appointee, agreed with their concerns and, in a preliminary ruling on Friday, declared the FDA’s approval to be invalid….

Federal judge in Texas hears case that could force a major abortion pill off market
Updated March 15, 20237:39 PM ET

[….]

A coalition of anti-abortion medical groups and doctors called the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine sued the FDA back in November, saying the abortion pill mifepristone was improperly approved two decades ago as part of a two-drug protocol that’s used to end pregnancies in the first trimester.

Erin Hawley, an attorney representing Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, argued that doctors who are part of this group have been forced to treat patients who have experienced complications, which can include heavy bleeding. In some cases, Hawley said, doctors have been forced to provide a surgical procedure to complete the abortion, despite their deeply held beliefs.

Erin Morrow Hawley Is Leading the Charge to Ban Abortion Medication. She’s Also Josh Hawley’s Wife
Reproductive rights activists are raising scrutiny over attorney Erin Hawley’s role in the suit against the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of mifepristone. The Texas federal judge overseeing the lawsuit made a past donation to her husband’s campaign.

MARCH 23, 2023

As a Texas federal judge deliberates his decision in a high-profile case that could impose a nationwide ban on a leading abortion drug, reproductive rights activists are now raising scrutiny about a member of the plaintiffs’ legal team: Erin Morrow Hawley, an attorney and the wife of Missouri senator Josh Hawley.

The case, which is playing out in a courtroom in rural Texas, could have the most far-reaching ramifications on abortion access in the United States since the fall of Roe v. Wade. Should the judge, Matthew Kacsmaryk, rule in favor of the plaintiffs in the case and issue a preliminary injunction, it could effectively block the use of mifepristone, one of two drugs used in medication abortions, which account for more than half of all abortions in the US. Hawley is one of the main lawyers arguing on behalf of conservative legal organization Alliance Defending Freedom, which sued the Food and Drug Administration last November for its approval of the abortion medication.

It was easy to check:

Lucas Kunce @LucasKunceMO
First, Matthew Kacsmaryk donated to Hawley’s campaign. Then, Hawley voted to make Kacsmaryk a federal judge. Now, Kacsmaryk just ruled in favor of a suit led by Hawley’s wife to ban abortion meds.

Hawley’s name is all over a nationwide effort to ban abortion without exceptions.

I double dare any lawyer to read this analysis and not see the jaw dropping incompetence of this right-wing-ideological-hack judge in Texas. It is astounding.

And one of the plaintiffs’ lawyers pushing this legal garbage is….Yale law graduate wife of Josh Hawley, Erin Hawley.
