Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra said Sunday that the Biden administration is considering defying a conservative federal judge’s order that suspends the approval of mifepristone, the nation’s most widely used abortion drug.

“We want the courts to overturn this reckless decision,” Becerra said on CNN’s “State of the Union” of the ruling issued Friday by U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk. “We want, yes, that women continue to have access to a drug that’s proven itself safe. Millions of women have used this drug around the world.”
