Federal Judge Strikes Down Abortion Med, Sowing Chaos Nationwide

  • States and abortion rights advocates vow to fight a federal judge's ruling effectively banning the abortion drug mifepristone.
  • Pharmaceutical companies warn the ruling undermines FDA authority and endangers medical innovation.
  • Access to mifepristone remains unchanged in states supporting the FDA's approval but is set to be cut off elsewhere.
  • The issue appears headed for the Supreme Court, where the conservative majority last year revoked the constitutional right to abortion.
