Senate Republican dismisses Texas judge's abortion pill ruling as "alarmist" precedent.

Senator Bill Cassidy (R-La.) downplayed concerns about the precedent set by a Texas judge's ruling against the FDA's approval of the abortion pill mifepristone, calling them "totally alarmist." Cassidy also stated that the FDA should not be above the law. The Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade and handed the regulation of abortion over to the states, was "correct," according to Cassidy.
