THE HILL: White House Launches Potentially ‘Consequential’ Fight to Protect Abortion Pill

In the post-Roe fight for reproductive rights, preserving federal control over broad access to the abortion pill is the Biden administration’s best chance to protect reproductive rights at the federal level.

Less than a week after a federal judge acted to roll back access to an abortion drug, the Biden administration launched a legal fight to uphold all parts of the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) decades-old approval of mifepristone, as well as shored up other health care privacy protections.
