1:12Now PlayingA Texas judge ruled against the FDA's approval of the abortion pill mifepristone, putting the drug at risk nationwide.
RELATEDDueling abortion pill rulings in TX, D.C. draw reaction from VP Harris
A Friday ruling by U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a Trump appointee in Texas, put a halt on government approval of mifepristone, a key abortion drug, potentially decimating access to medication abortion nationwide.
Minutes later, a federal judge in Washington, Obama appointee U.S. District Judge Thomas O. Rice, ordered the Food and Drug Administration not to make any changes that would restrict access to the drug in 17 states and D.C. that sued to expand access to mifepristone.
For now, access to mifepristone remains unchanged, because Kacsmaryk gave seven days for the federal government to appeal, which the Justice Department has committed to do.
