The Vermont Legislature passed reproductive and gender-affirming health care bills on Thursday with a late addition aimed at protecting access to a medication widely used in abortions even if the U.S. Food and Drug Administration withdraws its approval of the pill, mifepristone.
In the identical bills passed by the House and Senate,"reproductive health care services" includes"medication that was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for termination of a pregnancy as of January 1, 2023, regardless of the medication's current FDA approval status." The Supreme Court agreed on Friday to allow the most commonly used abortion pill, mifepristone, to be widely available as the case continues.
"But production can still take place and they can be purchased for use by pharmacists or providers. So it's still available but what this does is it says, with or without FDA approval, this drug is available to folks in the state of Vermont. And that's a big deal."Greer Donley, an associate professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law who is an expert in abortion law, said states cannot allow medications that the federal government prohibits.
