Federal judge delays mifepristone lawsuit until after midterms

September 1, 2026 · 1 min read

A federal judge on Sunday agreed to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s request to pause a lawsuit over the safety of the mifepristone pill and the drug’s mail-order distribution.

Judge Reed O’Connor of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas ordered that the lawsuit would be delayed until either Dec. 1 or the completion of the FDA’s safety review of mifepristone, whichever comes first.

In the lawsuit, Texas and Florida asked the court to revoke the FDA’s approval of the abortion-inducing pill, saying the agency didn’t adequately evaluate its safety when it approved the drug in 2000. The lawsuit also challenged mail-order distribution of the pill.

The FDA first announced it would review mifepristone in September 2025.

Pro-life group Live Action called on the FDA to protect women and unborn children from the abortion pill, citing studies that show dangerous side effects of the drug.

Păcat că tot amână, că de 25 de ani pastila asta a ajuns la 65% din avorturi. Oare în raportul ăla de la FDA o să scrie clar câte femei au avut hemoragii grave sau alte efecte, nu doar numărul de vieți oprite? Să vedem ce iese până la 1 decembrie.

Да, Георгий, отложить до декабря — разумно, чтобы FDA не торопилось с выводами. У меня в работе медсестрой часто вижу, как женщины потом жалеют о последствиях, особенно когда побочки проявляются. А что, по-твоему, в отчёте могут скрыть?
