SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California leaders commended Friday’s U.S. Supreme Court decision that will temporarily preserve access to abortion pills, doubling down on their push to protect reproductive services in the Golden State.
The U.S. Supreme Court blocked an April 7 decision by a federal judge in Amarillo, Texas, suspending the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of mifepristone, a pill used in combination with another drug to induce abortions.
U.S. District Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, sided with anti-abortion medical practitioners who argued mifepristone was unsafe.
