US supreme court temporarily blocks ruling to restrict availability of FDA-approved abortion medication
Swiftly after Mr Kacsmaryk’s ruling, Democratic states began stockpiling mifepristone as well as misoprostol, the second drug in the abortion regimen which can also be used on its own, although less effectively.
“Mifepristone has been used safely for more than 20 years and is the gold standard. Here in Massachusetts, we are not going to let one extremist judge in Texas turn back the clock on this proven medication and restrict access to care in our state,” Ms Healey said last week. The governor of Maryland, Wes Moore, recently announced a partnership with the University of Maryland’s medical system to purchase a “substantial amount of mifepristone”. On Thursday, Oregon made a similar announcement, with its governor Tina Kotek revealing the state had secured a three-year supply.
