Here is what's at stake in abortion medication case
A federal judge has heard arguments in a lawsuit that poses a threat to the nationwide availability of a leading abortion medication. The hearing Wednesday comes as a conservative Christian group seeks to reverse federal approval of the drug, mifepristone. A two-pill combination of mifepristone and another drug is the most common form of abortion in the U.S. and the ruling would affect states where abortion is legal as well as those that outlaw it. The case has raised concerns about court transparency and so-called judge shopping because the Texas judge is a Donald Trump appointee who was a former attorney at a Christian law firm and previously wrote critically about Roe v Wade.
