Supporters of abortion rights in the United States have filed separate lawsuits on Wednesday challenging two states’ abortion pill restrictions, the opening salvo in what is expected to be a protracted legal battle over access to the medications.The lawsuits argue that limits on the drugs in North Carolina and West Virginia run afoul of the federal authority of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which has approved the abortion pill as a safe and effective method for ending pregnancy.The cases were brought by a North Carolina physician who prescribes the pill, mifepristone, and the company GenBioPro, which makes a generic version of the drug and sued in West Virginia.
