This is a medical procedure, whether one can do it in the privacy of their home or not, but a doctor or some medical professional needs to at least be in the loop. To think that this drug hit the market without a proper study shows how abortion rights still lead the left at all costs. The cost of misusing this drug is the potential death of the woman, and there are 36 cases associated with this drug.
The Biden Administration pushed this drug out to the public before proper review to appease their base of those who do not believe a pre-born is a life. But, there is no doubt that a woman is a life, and those who use this drug are at risk. The lawsuits will be coming as more injuries occur to women, because of this abortion on demand drug. All IMO.
“FDA conceded it had failed to adequately study whether remotely prescribing mifepristone is safe,” the three-judge panel in New Orleans ruled on Friday.
The decision will block the drug from being shipped via mail until the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can ensure the drugs are “safe and effective” before they can be marketed in the United States.
Mifepristone, often called “the abortion pill,” is part of a two-drug regimen which allows a woman “to end a pregnancy up to 70 days into gestation,” according to Johns Hopkins University.
The FDA first approved mifepristone in 2000, but doctors were only allowed to prescribe it after three in-person visits.
The procedure changed in 2023 after the Biden administration expanded access to “medication abortion,” which provided a pathway for patients to avoid an in-person visit to the doctor and, instead, order the drug online to be shipped to their house.
The state of Louisiana challenged the rule in 2025, arguing the justification for allowing this was based on “flawed or nonexistent data.”
Louisiana alleged the medication “resulted in numerous illegal abortions” in the state and it also made women pay “thousands in Medicaid bills” for being harmed by mifepristone.
Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill called Friday’s decision a “victory for life!”
