Friday by U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of the Northern District of Texas. The ruling could ultimately force abortion providers to switch to a misoprostol-only regimen. That option is still safe and effective, but somewhat less effective than the combo regimen health care providers currently recommend.the Texas decision and filed a motion on Monday to delay the suspension on mifepristone while the case is pending. The block is currently set to take effect on Friday.
Mayor Eric Adams, state Attorney General Letitia James, Assemblymember Jessica González-Rojas and City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams also attended Tuesday's event and weighed in on how to respond to a potential mifepristone ban, as did Planned Parenthood representatives. James announced Monday afternoon that she joined with attorneys general from other states to file an amicus brief supporting the plea from the Biden administration to keep mifepristone available.
“We are well prepared to pivot to a misoprostol-only regimen if we are forced to do so,” Dr. Gabriela Aguilar, medical director of Planned Parenthood of Greater New York, said at the press conference. But she said forcing health care providers to go against medical best practices was “dehumanizing” for patients.
Adams also said that NYC Health + Hospitals providers would switch to the alternative medication misoprostol if necessary. He added that New York City is filing an amicus brief in the Texas case detailing the impact that a ban on mifepristone would have on the public hospital system’s ability to provide care.
