A group of lawmakers, including RepJohnLarson, gillibrandny, RepKManning, SenJackyRosen, SenCortezMasto, ValerieFoushee, and RepLoisFrankel, have urged the Supreme Court to reverse a ruling that would restrict access to mifepristone, a safe and effective drug used for decades. They argue that the ruling could curtail safe reproductive care for millions and lead to criminal charges for pregnancy outcomes. The lawmakers are concerned about the radical and dangerous efforts of anti-choice extremists to criminalize pregnancy outcomes and restrict abortion nationwide. Furthermore, several studies cited in a pivotal Texas court ruling, which threatened access to mifepristone, have been retracted due to flaws and conflicts of interest.
