It’s another fight on the abortion front. Abortion medication mifepristone is now in limbo as a Texas federal judge ordered a hold on it on Friday, saying the U.S. Food and Drug Administration did not adequately review the drug’s safety.Those who are anti-abortion say this is a step in the right direction for them.
The FDA said mifepristone is safe, as it’s been approved for more than two decades and has been widely used. “The transition to the misoprostol-only protocol will be seamless on our patients. We’ve been doing a lot of work operationally to make sure that we have the proper medications and we have all the information to provide to our patients so they can make their own best decision,” said Brittany Fonteno, the president, and CEO of Planned Parenthood Arizona.

The judge denied a request by Planned Parenthood of Montana to preemptively block the legislation, saying it has to be signed first. The legislation would ban an abortion method most commonly used in the second trimester of pregnancy. Lawmakers passed the bill to ban dilation and evacuation abortions last week. Planned Parenthood argues the ban is unconstitutional. It says it will move to block the bill again if Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte signs it.
