Statement by Vice President Harris on 5th Circuit Decision in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA

Politics

We strongly disagree with today’s decision from the Fifth Circuit in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA, which would impose medically unnecessary barriers to safe and effective FDA-approved medication. Despite this ruling, mifepristone remains broadly available due to the Supreme Court’s stay. As I have continually said, this lawsuit is a threat to a woman’s freedom to make decisions about her own body and another step towards the ultimate goal of a nationwide abortion ban. It endangers our entire system of drug approval and regulation by undermining the independent, expert judgment of the FDA. Americans across the country should be able…

Statement from Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Decision in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA

Politics

We strongly disagree with today’s ruling from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA, which undermines FDA’s scientific, independent judgment and reimposes onerous restrictions on access to safe and effective medication abortion.  Due to the Supreme Court’s stay, mifepristone remains broadly available for now. But if the Fifth Circuit’s ruling stands, it will significantly roll back the ability for women in every state to get the health care they need, and undermine FDA’s scientific, evidence-based process for approving safe and effective medications that patients rely on. As leaders in the biopharma industry, leading expert…
