NATIONWIDE BAN OF CHEMICAL ABORTION PILLS

What Does This Mean?

If this case is successful; it means that chemical abortions all over America will stop, even in states where abortion is legal. Considering that chemical abortions account for more than half of all abortions nationwide, this case stands to immediately save tens of thousands of lives!



What Exactly IS The Challenge?

The plaintiffs, represented by The Alliance Defending Freedom, argue that the FDA unlawfully fast-tracked the approval and never studied the safety of the drugs under the labeled condition for use. The FDA characterized pregnancy as an “illness” and never studied the safety of the drugs for use in abortions. The FDA’s approval of mifepristone and misoprostol’s use for abortions should be reversed, according to the complaint.

“To date, the FDA’s review, approval, and deregulation of chemical abortion drugs has spanned three decades, correlated with four U.S. presidential elections, and encompassed six discrete agency actions. Plaintiffs challenge these six FDA actions and ask that the Court hold them unlawful, set them aside, and vacate them.” Case no. 2:22-cv-00223-Z, Complaint, p. 2

Georgia’s Attorney General Chris Carr joined with 21 other state Attorneys General in filing an amicus brief supporting the Plaintiffs.

What Happens Next?

If Judge Kacsmaryk rules in our favor and reverses the FDA’s approval of the chemical abortion pill regimen; the case may be appealed to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, and ultimately to the Supreme Court of the United States.

In the meantime, the chemical abortion pill regimen would be pulled from the market and the FDA would have to decide to restart the approval process - which could take years. This one ruling would amount to a NATIONWIDE BAN ON CHEMICAL ABORTION.

WHILE WE ARE CONFIDENT IN GOD’S CONTINUED FAVOR, THIS FIGHT IS FAR FROM OVER. OUR ENEMY HAS ENDLESS LIES AND FINANCIAL BACKING TO CONTINUE ATTACKING THE SANCTITY OF LIFE AT EVERY STAGE. CONSIDER HELPING US FIGHT BACK BY PRAYING, FINANCIALLY SUPPORTING, VOLUNTEERING, AND SHARING EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES.
