More than two decades ago the Food and Drug Administration approved mifepristone for abortion. A new lawsuit claims it harms women.
Medical groups and the FDA say the abortion drug mifepristone is safe, effective and any serious side effects are rare.
One outcome here is that this judge intervenes to overrule scientific decisions made by the FDA. Legal scholars say there is no precedent for this and, in fact, lawyers for the anti-abortion group could not cite a case when asked by the judge. The court only allowed in 19 members of the news media, and only streamed the audio of the hearing to another courthouse in Dallas.
A modest number of protesters showed up outside, some in costume. A man dressed as a kangaroo, in effect, denounced today as a kangaroo court and others as clowns.
