The Fight for Mifepristone Access
In a move that’s turning heads and raising voices, Attorney General Mayes has spearheaded a coalition of 24 attorneys general to champion the cause of medication abortion access. The battleground? The U.S. Supreme Court. The weapon of choice? An amicus brief. The goal? To overturn a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit that seeks to re-impose restrictions on mifepristone, a medication vital for abortion care. The FDA had previously found these restrictions medically unnecessary. With mifepristone being the only FDA-approved medication for abortion care, Mayes and the coalition argue that these restrictions have far-reaching and detrimental effects on reproductive health care, especially for low-income and underserved communities.
