District Court Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of Amarillo, Texas, imposed a nationwide injunction revoking the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approval of mifepristone. As a result, it will pull the abortion pill from shelves nationwide. Notably, this is not a nationwide ban on all forms of medication abortion. Misoprostol, which is used in conjunction with Mifepristone, is still available. However, it's technically not approved by the FDA to be used for abortions on its own.
According to The Washington Post on Friday, "The Biden administration will probably appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, and the case could make its way to the Supreme Court."
