Donald Trump’s administration on Monday pushed forward in defending US rules easing access to the abortion drug mifepristone from a legal challenge that began during Democratic former president Joe Biden’s administration.
The US Department of Justice in a brief filed in Texas federal court urged a judge to dismiss the lawsuit by three Republican-led states on procedural grounds.
While the filing does not discuss the merits of the states’ case, it suggests the Trump administration is in no rush to drop the government’s defense of mifepristone, used in more than 60% of US abortions.
This seems like a good thing, but I’m sure he found a way to make it evil.
Probably just a case of them not having noticed this case yet.
I’m willing to bet pharma lobbying
A case of the Mondays.
Ngl I read that as milf-pristone so many time
Definitely something funny going on given the Trump nazi regime’s stance back in February.
“Kacsmaryk, who was appointed by Donald Trump, had in the earlier version of the case issued a court order that would yank mifepristone from the market entirely.”
“Under Trump, however, the FDA is widely expected to drop out of the case.”
