A coalition of state attorneys general is suing the FDA over its regulation of mifepristone.
"What the plaintiffs in that case are asking from that very conservative judge is to put a national injunction in place, saying that mifepristone should not be available to anybody in the United States anywhere," Ferguson told NPR's Michel Martin."So our view is, while that case is going on, we have filed a case that takes the opposite position: that actually mifepristone should be expanded in terms of its access.
Ever since the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, my team has looked for ways in which we can enhance reproductive options for the people of my state. It became clear to us that this medication was being limited in terms of its access by the FDA in a way that we thought was entirely unreasonable and not medically necessary, and that's why we're filing this lawsuit to enhance the availability of this important medication for the people of my state and the other states who joined our lawsuit.To give you an example, pharmacies must be specially certified in order to provide this medication. We filed this lawsuit in eastern Washington.
Study after study demonstrates that this medication is safe. Obviously anything you put in your body inherently has some risk. There is evidence that this medication is as safe or safer than using Viagra. Viagra does not have these limitations. Why do they have it for a product that women would utilize?In my ten years as attorney general, I have filed about 110 lawsuits against presidential administrations of both Democratic presidents and Republican presidents.
