A Texas judge’s preliminary ruling invalidating the FDA’s approval of the abortion pill could make it harder for patients to get abortions even in states where it remains legal.
A federal judge on Friday suspended the FDA’s approval of mifepristone — the most popular method for terminating a pregnancy.
The ruling — as much as any since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June — could upend the national landscape, threatening abortion access for hundreds of thousands of people whether they live in a state that prohibits almost all abortions, such as Texas, or a liberal haven like California.
