A commonly used abortion drug used for more than half of all abortions in the US can no longer be dispensed, according to a federal court ruling from a Texas judge appointed by Donald Trump.
Mifepristone, one of two drugs in a two-drug protocol for medication abortion, was approved for use by the US Food and Drug Administration more than two decades ago. But a lawsuit filed by an influential right-wing legal group and anti-abortion activists has sought to revoke that approval as part of a years-long campaign to outlaw abortion nationwide.
