Case Summary

On November 18, 2022, four national medical associations and four doctors experienced in caring for pregnant and post-abortive patients sued the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA), seeking to overturn the agency’s decades-old authorization of mifepristone, a pill that induces abortions.

On November 18, 2022, four national medical associations and four doctors experienced in caring for pregnant and post-abortive patients sued the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA), seeking to overturn the agency’s decades-old authorization of mifepristone, a pill that induces abortions. Represented by Alliance Defending Freedom and a private law firm, Plaintiffs brought suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Plaintiffs brought suit under the Administrative Procedure Act, arguing that the FDA's approval and subsequent regulation of medication abortion was in excess of the agency's jurisdiction as well as arbitrary and capricious. Plaintiffs sought injunctive and declaratory relief in addition to attorneys' fees. In particular, Plaintiffs requested that the Court order Defendants to withdraw mifepristone and misoprostol as FDA-approved chemical abortion drugs. The case was assigned to Judge Matthew Joseph Kacsmaryk.

The day the case was filed, Plaintiffs filed a motion for a preliminary injunction, which is now pending before the Court. Several amicus briefs were submitted on both sides, including briefs by members of Congress and states. Briefing by the parties was completed on February 24, 2023, and a decision could be made at any time. It is likely that the decision could prohibit the use of mifepristone for abortive purposes.

The case is ongoing.
