The Ministry of Justice filed an immediate appeal after the shocking decision of the federal judge Texas on Friday on the approval of the Office for Products and Medication Control, one of the two drugs used in the abortion of drugs.
The Ministry of Justice appealed directly to the US Court of Appeal in the fifth district on Friday evening, just a few hours after the initial decision.
US Prosecutor General Merrik Garland said in statement that the Ministry of Justice “categorically disagree with the decision” and “will appeal the court decision and look for the expectation of an appeal.”
“Today's decision is turned over by the FDA expert solution, made more than two decades ago, that the mifepristone is safe and effective,” Garland wrote. “The Department will continue to defend FDA.”
District judge Matthew Kachsmarik Managing The fact that the approval of the FDA Mifepristone was illegal when the drug first entered the market in 2000. Kacsmaryk said in his decision that FDA “manipulated and incorrectly interpreted” certain parts of the process of approval of the drug to “choose electoral chemical abortions on a wide scale”.
The decision does not enter into force within seven days, which allows you to play the appeal of the Ministry of Justice.
The alliance protects freedom, a conservative Christian legal group, filed a lawsuit in November In the federal court in Amarillo, Texas, claiming that the FDA went beyond its authority 22 years ago and quickly monitored the approval of Mifepriston. But the abortion of drugs, the combination of mifepristone and another drug called the Misoprostol, has a very safe and effective track record for more than 20 years approved by FDA. The abortion of drugs is almost 60% about all abortions and miscarriages in the USA
The federal judge in the state Washington released competing solution Also on Friday, which blocks the FDA from the approval of Mifepriston in 17 states and in the district of Colombia. Duel decisions will most likely force the US Supreme Court to quickly weigh, Legal scientists speculation.
Garland said in his statement on Friday evening that the Ministry of Justice is also considering the decision of the state of Washington.
Although there is a lot of confusion regarding the decision of Judge Texas and what will happen next, we can say with confidence that this is a stunning blow to abortion rights throughout the country.
Vice President Kamala Harris In a statement on Friday evening, he said that the decision is an “unprecedented decision”.
“Simply put: this solution undermines the ability of FDA to approve safe and effective medicines – from chemotherapeutic drugs, to asthma medicine, to pills for blood pressure, to insulin – based on science, and not about politics,” she wrote.
“Everyone in our country should have the right to access safe and effective medicines that was approved by FDA. In the face of attacks to an abortion, our administration will continue to fight for the protection of reproductive freedom and the ability of all Americans to make decisions on medical care with their doctors free from political interference. ”
