Pfizer CEO among 200 executives calling for a reversal of a Texas judge's decision to suspend FDA approval of abortion pill mifepristone - saying he 'ignores decades of scientific evidence and legal precedent.'
On Monday, the primary lobbying arm of the pharmaceutical industry, PhRMA, issued a separate statement saying Kacsmaryk's ruling undermines the regulatory process.
Kacsmaryk sided with an anti-abortion group, arguing the FDA rushed its approval process and violated federal standards. He suggested the agency ignored mifepristone's serious safety risks due to"political pressure." In the open letter, executives acknowledged that the FDA's drug development and approval process is not perfect. But they defended the agency's longstanding determination that mifepristone is a safe and effective method to terminate an early pregnancy.
The FDA approved mifepristone in 2000. Medication abortion has become the most accessible and preferred method for terminating a pregnancy in the U.S. since then, accounting forMifepristone will be available in the short term, because Kacsmaryk delayed his order for a week to give the Biden administration time to appeal.
