<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Wednesday that chemical abortion drug mifepristone should not be distributed through the mail or prescribed via telemedicine in a ruling that cannot take effect until the Supreme Court issues a ruling on the decision. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The appeals court did not go as far as U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/federal-judge-in-texas-suspends-fda-approval-of-abortion-pill-used-in-up-to-half-of-abortions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who moved to suspend</a> the </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fda" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">FDA</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">’s approval of mifepristone earlier this year, but it did </span><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/appeals-court-upholds-restrictions-abortion-pill-access-rcna100255" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reinstate</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> regulations on mailing and prescribing the pill. Mifepristone is used in up to half of all abortions. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The 5th Circuit rightly required the FDA to do its job and restore crucial safeguards for women and girls, including ending illegal mail-order abortions,” <a href="https://adflegal.org/press-release/fda-must-restore-vital-safeguards-chemical-abortion-drugs-5th-circuit-rules?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=ppc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Erin Hawley, who helped represent those who sued FDA officials to stop the distribution of the drug  “The FDA will finally be made to account for the damage it has caused to the health of countless women and girls and the rule of law by unlawfully removing every meaningful safeguard from the chemical abortion drug regimen.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The FDA’s unprecedented and unlawful actions did not reflect scientific judgment but rather revealed politically driven decisions to push a dangerous drug regimen without regard to women’s health or the rule of law. This is a significant victory for the doctors and medical associations we represent and, more importantly, the health and safety of women,” Hawley added. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The decision was </span><a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/08/16/1194280392/ruling-deals-blow-to-access-to-abortion-pill-mifepristone-but-nothing-changes-ye#:~:text=In%20a%2093%2Dpage%20ruling,the%20case%2C%20cheered%20the%20opinion." target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">made</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> by three judges, two of whom were appointed by former President Donald Trump and one by former President George Bush. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the case in its coming fall session after previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-releases-decision-on-abortion-pill-mifepristone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">putting a stay</a> on Kacsmaryk&#8217;s decision to suspend approval for the pill. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The decision was widely celebrated by pro-life organizations and decried by pro-abortion groups.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Today’s ruling by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reinstating these basic safeguards and stopping the dangerous practice of mail-order abortions is a first step towards reprioritizing women’s health over the interests of the abortion industry and its allies within our profession. As physicians, we will continue to fight for all our patients to be able to receive the best fully informed and evidence-based healthcare possible,” said a <a href="https://aaplog.org/aaplogs-statement-on-the-fifth-circuit-court-of-appeals-decision-to-reinstate-original-rems-safeguards-on-mifepristone/">statement</a> from the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, a plaintiff in the case. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Planned Parenthood Federation of America President Alexis McGill Johnson, claimed that the ruling “makes it clear that mifepristone’s approval is very much still at risk, as is the FDA’s independence.&#8221;</span></p>
