Missouri Attorney General Challenges FDA Approval of Mail-Order Abortion Pills
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, along with the states of Idaho and Kansas, is suing the FDA and the Department of Health and Senior Services for unlawfully approving the shipment of chemical abortion pills in the mail. Bailey argues that the FDA's guidance is not only unlawful but also endangers the lives of women and unborn children. The lawsuit seeks to halt the FDA's illegal federal overreach and challenges the agency's failure to protect the health and safety of Americans. The attorney generals reject the Biden administration's interpretation of the law and anticipate that courts will also reject it. The lawsuit seeks a preliminary injunction against several FDA policies related to the distribution of abortion pills.
