Alabama has just joined 22 other states in opposing the 2023 FDA decision that allowed a deadly drug designed to terminate the unborn to be purchased over the counter, and even through the mail. The drug has already been used by men to murder unborn children against the mother’s will.
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said, “This rule is unlawful, plain and simple. The Biden FDA eliminated critical safety safeguards, authorized the mailing of abortion drugs in direct conflict with federal law, and empowered out-of-state providers to violate the laws of pro-life States. After Dobbs returned abortion policy to the States, the Biden administration attempted to override that decision through executive action. We are standing with Louisiana to defend state sovereignty, enforce the law, and protect unborn life.”
22 States Fight Biden Rule Allowing Mail-Order Abortions – lifenews.com
Alabama has joined 21 States in filing a brief in support of Louisiana’s lawsuit challenging a Biden-era rule that expanded access to abortion drugs through mail and telehealth, despite contrary state laws.
The case challenges a 2023 Food and Drug Administration action that removed long-standing safeguards on the chemical abortion drug mifepristone and allowed doctors in one State to prescribe abortion pills to patients in another. The States’ brief argues that the rule unlawfully overrides state laws protecting unborn life and intrudes on States’ sovereign authority following the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs.
“This rule is unlawful, plain and simple,” Attorney General Steve Marshall said. “The Biden FDA eliminated critical safety safeguards, authorized the mailing of abortion drugs in direct conflict with federal law, and empowered out-of-state providers to violate the laws of pro-life States.
