Abortion providers in three states filed a lawsuit Monday aimed at preserving access to the widely used abortion pill mifepristone
Abortion-rights advocates and their opponents continue jostling for a legal foothold on the issue across the country.
“Plaintiffs cannot retool their practices overnight with no notice — healthcare has no on-off switch. They and their patients require clarity around their continued provision of mifepristone,” states the lawsuit, which was filed on behalf of the clinics by the Center for Reproductive Rights, a New York-based legal and advocacy group that works to ensure access to abortion.
At the time of the approval, the FDA imposed a number of restrictions on the drug, including requiring that prescribers undergo certification and that women sign an agreement form before taking it.that women pick up the pill in person. But the FDA has repeatedly concluded that the remaining requirements — including prescriber certification — are necessary.
