Texas judge suspends FDA approval of abortion pill; second judge protects access - The Washington Post

A federal judge in Texas blocked U.S. government approval of a key abortion medication Friday, siding with abortion foes in an unprecedented lawsuit and potentially upending nationwide access to the pill widely used to terminate pregnancies.

In a competing opinion late Friday, a federal judge in Washington state ruled in a separate case involving mifepristone that the drug is safe and effective. He ordered the Food and Drug Administration to preserve "the status quo" and retain access in the 17 states — along with the District — that are behind the lawsuit seeking to protect medication abortion.
