Mifepristone has gone through the toughest safety reviews and has been used safely and effectively for over 20 years. I talked to Los Angeles Times about why we need expanded access to abortion care, not court rulings based in junk science. latimes.com/opinion/story/…

🚨🚨🚨 Abortion pills are safe. Abortion pills are effective. Abortion pills are essential health care. Over half of U.S. abortions are done with pills. The devastation that a national ban on abortion pills would cause cannot be overstated.

“The bottom line is that Judge Kacsmaryk does not give our physicians orders,” said Tammi Kromenaker, director of Red River Women’s Clinic in Minnesota, where physicians do not expect to change protocols until getting FDA guidance. washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/…

Let me be clear: I am committed to doing everything in my power to preserve the rights of Minnesotans to access safe and effective abortion medication like mifepristone. Full stop.

JUST IN: A federal judge in WA has doubled down on his previous order ruling that the FDA cannot roll back access to the abortion pill mifepristone, regardless of a conflicting federal decision adding restrictions to the drug. axios.com/2023/04/13/was…

Changes are happening hour by hour - here is the latest order from Judge Rice in WA stating that the 5th Circuit Order does not apply to the 17 states in his order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

BREAKING: Justice Samuel Alito issues an administrative stay blocking restrictions on abortion pills that were set to take effect tonight. The order puts everything on hold through April 19 to allow briefing and give other justices time to weigh in.

Today, the US Supreme Court halted the effect of the Texas court order on mifepristone until at least Thursday. In other words, you can still access mifepristone anywhere in the US.  And definitely in MN.

Our movements are connected. Last summer, Red River Women's Clinic, North Dakota's only abortion clinic, was forced to relocate from Fargo to Moorhead, Minnesota. This summer, Fargo's Pride event is moving there, too. inforum.com/news/fargo/pol…

In 2019, we sued to lift Minnesota's unconstitutional abortion restrictions. We see how that ended. Now, with co-counsel Center for Reproductive Rights & Weil, we've filed an amended suit to block North Dakota's extreme new (also unconstitutional) abortion ban. genderjustice.us/lawsuit-amende…
