8 April 2023 at 02:39 Judge wants to ban abortion pill in the USA A conservative judge in Texas believes that the abortion pill mifepristone, which is used in medical abortions, should never have been approved. Now he wants the pill to become illegal throughout the United States. Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk believes that it has not been properly investigated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Mifepristone, also known as RU-486, was developed in the 1980s. The pill was investigated in the US four years before it was included on the FDA’s list of permitted medicines. In France, it has been in use since 1987. But the conservative judge believes the FDA has ignored challenges with the pill. Now he is in favor of a nationwide ban. The ruling does not take effect for another week, which means that President Joe Biden can prevent the ban from taking effect before then. (NTB-Reuters-news)
