Trump Administration Seeks to Dismiss Lawsuit Against Mifepristone Access
The Trump administration aims to dismiss a lawsuit from GOP states challenging telehealth access to mifepristone, citing lack of legal standing.
Summary
The Trump administration is asking a Texas federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit from Missouri, Idaho, and Kansas that seeks to limit access to mifepristone, a medication abortion drug. The Justice Department argues the states lack legal standing and connection to Texas, asserting that the states can pursue their claims elsewhere. This follows previous Supreme Court rulings these states failed to establish harm related to the FDA's regulations expanding mifepristone access. The legal battle highlights ongoing tensions regarding abortion access and state versus federal authority.
