Far-left Oregon Governor Tina Kotek announced Thursday that the state has partnered with Oregon Health Science University (OHSU) to stash a three-year supply of mifepristone, the first drug used in a two-drug medication abortion procedure.
Kotek claimed the pills have been stored in the case that the Supreme Court decides to allow a court ruling to stand limiting the use of mifepristone’s.
From Breitbart:
The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed a lawsuit in November 2022 against the FDA on behalf of four national medical associations and several doctors, alleging that the agency “chose politics over science and approved chemical abortion drugs for use in the United States.” The lawsuit points to six discrete agency actions since the legalization of mifepristone and misoprostol in 2000, and asked the court to hold the agency’s actions unlawful. This month, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas handed down a 67-page decision that the FDA’s decisions were illegal under federal law and a nationwide injunction blocking the abortion pill. Days later, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit partially granted a stay requested by the Biden Justice Department. The court’s 42-page opinion temporarily put on hold the part of the decision about the 2000 FDA decision because it might be past the deadline for bringing legal challenges, though added that it was a “close call” and that the court might go the opposite direction after receiving additional legal arguments. But the appellate court rejected a stay on anything from 2016 to the present, affirming the trial court’s injunction. The Justice Department subsequently asked the Supreme Court to grant a stay of the lower court decisions. The Supreme Court issued an administrative stay for five days while the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine filed its papers opposing a stay, and extended its deadline to this Friday at 11:59 p.m.
