ສິ່ງທີ່ຄວນຮູ້ກ່ຽວກັບ Mifepristone ໃນຂະນະທີ່ການບໍລິຫານ Biden ປົກປ້ອງມັນຈາກການໂຈມຕີທາງກົດຫມາຍ

Topline

Vice President Kamala Harris spoke out Friday in defense of the abortion pill mifepristone as an ongoing lawsuit could soon bar it from distribution nationwide, potentially taking away millions of Americans’ access to the medication as it’s become a more prominent abortion method in the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.

ຂໍ້ເທັດຈິງສໍາຄັນ

Speaking at a White House meeting on access to reproductive healthcare, Harris denounced the “attempt to further attack fundamental rights to healthcare” by prohibiting abortion pills Friday, telling opponents they “ought to look in their own medicine cabinets” to see if they’re prepared to have FDA-approved drugs they use taken away, “because that’s what we’re talking about” if courts are allowed to revoke FDA approval of medications.

The Food and Drug Administration finalized ກົດລະບຽບ in January that now ອະນຸຍາດໃຫ້ mifepristone to also be dispensed at brick-and-mortar retail pharmacies after being prescribed by a medical provider, after those pharmacies become certified to dispense it and agree to certain criteria.

Major retailers including CVS and Walgreens have largely agreed to carry mifepristone in states where abortion is legal, expanding access to the drug, though Walgreens ຖໍ້າ to pressure by GOP officials in Kansas and said it wouldn’t carry the drug in the state, even though abortion is legal there.

Access to medication abortion is now being threatened by a ກົດຫມາຍວ່າດ້ວຍ brought by anti-abortion advocates who believe the drug was unlawfully approved by the FDA and want its federal approval to be revoked, which could result in a nationwide injunction being soon issued that could block mifepristone from being prescribed and distributed nationwide, including in states where abortion remains legal.

Lawmakers in many GOP-led states have also introduced or floated ກົດຫມາຍ that could threaten access to medication abortion or punish people for using it, as pregnant people have been able to skirt state-level abortion bans by obtaining pills through the mail or traveling to nearby states.

It’s unclear when a court ruling could come out that could block access to abortion pills. Briefing in the case is scheduled to end Friday, which means a ruling could come out at any point after, likely spurring the timing for Harris’ comments Friday. The judge hearing the case—a Trump appointee who’s been sympathetic to right-wing issues in the past—could first hold a hearing before issuing a decision, however. Any order would likely block the distribution of mifepristone temporarily while the litigation continues to play out, and it’s expected the Biden Administration would try to immediately appeal the ruling in an effort to stop it from taking effect.

ພະແນກຍຸຕິທໍາ ກະຈ່າງແຈ້ງ in January that abortion pill can be mailed to states where abortion is banned under federal law. Under the Comstock Act of 1873, which restricts the mailing of items used to “produc[e] abortions,” mifepristone can legally be mailed through the U.S. Postal Service or private carriers like UPS or FedEx, the DOJ said in a legal opinion, as long as the sender believes the drug will be used in a legal way. That could still be the case even in states where abortion is banned, such as if the pills are used for a medical emergency or if the drug is actually administered in a different state where abortion is legal, the Biden Administration said. That being said, while the DOJ’s opinion will serve as a legal shield to ward off challenges against abortion pills being mailed under federal law, it’s still possible that people who mail abortion pills could face legal repercussions under state laws. That’s particularly the case in states that specifically ban ການສົ່ງຢາຄຸມກຳເນີດທາງໄປສະນີ, ເຊັ່ນ Arizona, Indiana, Oklahoma ແລະ Texas.
