Nearly Every Democrat in Washington is Joining Forces to Fight Abortion Ruling
THE BIGGER, THE BETTER
The move was made in order to help the Biden administration’s appeal against a Texas judge’s ruling, which suspended FDA approval of a key abortion drug.
Nearly every Democrat in Washington has joined forces by adding their names to an amicus brief filed in support of the Biden administration’s appeal of a Texas judge’s decision to suspend the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of a key abortion drug. Among the top names are Senate Majority Leader Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Majority Whip and Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin, who say the decision to restrict access to Mifespristone was a “reckless decision by a rogue, Trump-appointed federal judge.” A total of 50 Senators and 190 House Representatives signed the brief, asking the court to stay the district court’s order. “Its perilous consequences reach far beyond mifepristone. Providers and patients rely on the availability of thousands of FDA-approved drugs to treat or manage a range of medical conditions, including asthma, HIV, infertility, heart disease, diabetes, and more,” the lawmakers state.
Today, @SenateDems are filing a brief in the MAGA lawsuit to take away Mifepristone.
We’re making clear that Congress gave FDA authority to evaluate and ensure the safety and efficacy of drugs.
