A federal judge struck down some of North Carolina’s restrictions on access to abortion medications on Monday, saying they conflict with the authority of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

District Judge Catherine Eagles ruled that the state laws limiting the prescription of the medicine mifepristone to only physicians and mandating in-person prescribing are “preempted” by federal laws.
