WASHINGTON STATE.-The Supreme Court announced that it will hear a case on restrictions to the abortion drug mifepristone.
Earlier this year Washington state stockpiled mifepristone in anticipation of legal battles over the drug that the FDA approved in 2000.
After the Supreme Court announced it would hear Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA, Washington Governor Jay Inslee released the following statement on social media:
“Whether or not SCOTUS delivers another blow to reproductive freedom in this country, mifepristone will continue to be available in Washington for those seeking abortions.
We’ve known for decades that mifepristone is a safe and effective medication. That’s why Washington stockpiled it earlier this year when we saw Trump’s judges taking aim at it.”
