A federal judge in Texas believes 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. The pill is also known as the “attack pill” or emergency contraception, and can be used within 72 hours after intercourse to prevent pregnancy. Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk was appointed under President Donald Trump and is a well-known opponent of abortion. Revoking the approval He won the case after a group of conservative abortion opponents in the state went to court with a demand that the approval should be revoked so that the pill could be taken off the market nationwide. Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk photographed in the Senate when he was approved. Photo: AP Mifepristone, also known as RU-486, was developed in the 1980s. The pill was paid out in the US four years before it was approved and added to the FDA’s list of permitted medicines in 2000. In France, it has been in use since 1987. But the conservative judge in Amarillo, Texas, believes that the US FDA has ignored challenges with pill. In the 67-page court decision, he argues that pilla has not been properly investigated. He has therefore revoked approval for the whole of the United States, but given the government a seven-day deadline to intervene. This means that President Joe Biden can prevent the ban from taking effect. The appeal is already under way, according to NBC News.
