A federal judge in Texas has temporarily withdrawn approval for the use of mifepristone, one of two pills used for medication abortions, in a ruling set to have widespread impacts on reproductive healthcare across the United States.In a victory for anti-abortion advocates, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk issued a 67-page ruling placing a stay on the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of the mifepristone, which would render sales of the widely used drug illegal.The decision gives the administration of Democratic President Joe Biden seven days to appeal before the temporary ban goes into effect.
