Doctors can sue FDA to block abortion pill because it's 'emotionally taxing' to treat women who have taken it: Fifth Circuit

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : The court reasoned that the plaintiffs, a group of anti-abortion doctors, therefore had standing to sue to pull mifepristone from the market, a ruling that might well open the floodgates for similar litigation involving other drugs.
59% : But the panel kept in place Kacsmaryk's decision to roll back the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) 2016 decision to make the drug more easily available, including by mail, finding that anti-abortion doctors who had treated patients suffering from side effects had been sufficiently injured to justify their lawsuit.
42% : An appeal to the current Supreme Court -- one that is not only exceedingly hostile to abortion, but that is also committed to curtailing the authority of federal administrative agencies -- is unlikely to yield positive results for the Biden administration.
