Mifepristone pills in hand
  • A Texas judge ruled to suspend mifepristone's FDA approval, but gave seven days before it would take effect.
  • That gives the Biden administration time to appeal, and means the abortion pill is still available.
  • The future legal status of the drug was also complicated by a contradictory ruling issued in Washington state also on Friday.

Mifepristone, an abortion pill used in a medication abortion, is still available, despite a Texas judge's ruling on Friday to suspend the drug's Food and Drug Administration approval.
