A federal judge in Texas, in an unprecedented move, has ordered the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to temporarily halt its approval of mifepristone, a drug used for abortion.
U.S. District Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk, a Trump appointee in Amarillo, Texas, signed an injunction directing the FDA to stay mifepristone’s approval, while the lawsuit that challenges the safety and approval of the drug continues.
