US EditionTrump administration asks judge to toss suit restricting access to abortion medication
- As of May 2025, the Trump administration continues to uphold federal regulations that facilitate the availability and use of mifepristone for medication abortions amid a legal challenge from three Republican-led states in Texas.
- The lawsuit seeks to restrict FDA mifepristone regulations by prohibiting telehealth prescriptions, requiring multiple in-office visits, and limiting drug use during pregnancy, with states claiming legal standing despite prior Supreme Court dismissal.
- The case is being overseen by U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, appointed during the Trump administration and known for previous decisions opposing mifepristone. The legal challenge involves complex dynamics due to varying abortion regulations across Idaho, Kansas, and Missouri, as well as recent voter-led changes impacting reproductive rights.
- The Department of Justice urged dismissal on procedural grounds, arguing the states lack injury and Texas is an improper venue, while Trump affirmed last year he would not restrict abortion medication and said abortion is a states’ issue.
- This legal battle suggests ongoing contention over abortion access post-Roe, with medication abortion now comprising over 60% of U.S. Abortions and the administration maintaining its defense despite past Supreme Court rulings rejecting similar challenges.
