Judges blocked mail delivery of the abortion pill mifepristone, reimposed doctor visits and shortened the length of time it can be used during pregnancy.
The Justice Department will seek emergency intervention from the Supreme Court in the legal fight around the abortion pill mifepristone.
The judges blocked mail delivery of the pill, reimposed doctor visits and shortened the length of time mifepristone can be used during pregnancy. The appeals court late Wednesday blocked U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk's order that suspended the Food and Drug Administration's approval of mifepristone. The court said federal statutes of limitations appear to bar the anti-abortion groups who brought the lawsuit from challenging the agency's more than two-decade-old approval of the drug.
The Alliance Defending Freedom, the anti-abortion group that sued the FDA, said the appeals court decision restores critical safeguards while the litigation proceeds.
